Figaro Company manufactures embroidered jackets. The company uses a
Direct materials (3.0 sq. ft. × $3.95 per sq. ft) | $11.85 | |
Direct labor (2.0 hours × $9.20 per hour) | 18.40 | |

||
Variable (2.0 hours × $0.60 per hour) | $1.20 | |
Fixed (2.0 hours × $2.30 per hour) | 4.60 | 5.80 |
Total standard cost per jacket | $36.05 |
Fixed overhead in total was budgeted to be $63,600 for each month.
Actual data for November of the current year include the following:
- a. Actual production was 13,800 jackets.
- b. Actual direct materials usage was 2.50 square feet per jacket at an actual cost of $4.10 per square foot.
- c. Actual direct labor usage of 25,400 hours for a total cost of $238,760.
- d. Actual fixed overhead cost was $59,202, while actual variable overhead cost was $19,050.
Requirements
- 1. Compute the price and quantity variances for direct materials.
- 2. Compute the rate and efficiency variances for direct labor.
- 3. Compute the rate and efficiency variances for variable overhead.
- 4. Compute the fixed overhead
budget variance and the fixed overhead volume variance. - 5. Company management intentionally purchased superior materials for November production. How did this decision affect the other cost variances? Overall, was the decision wise? Explain.
- 6. Journalize the usage of direct materials and the assignment of direct labor, including the related variances.

LearnCo manufactures and sells one product, an abacus for classroom use, with two models, the Basic model and the Deluxe model. The company began operations on January 1, 20Y1, and is planning for 20Y2, its second year of operations, by preparing budgets from its master budget.
The company is trying to decide how many units to manufacture, how much it might spend on direct materials and direct labor, and what their factory overhead expenses might be. In addition, the company is interested in budgeting for selling and administrative costs, and in creating a budgeted income statement showing a prediction of net income for 20Y2.
You have been asked to assist the controller of LearnCo in preparing the 20Y2 budgets.
The sales budget often uses the prior year’s sales as a starting point, and then sales quantities are revised for various factors such as planned advertising and promotion, projected pricing changes, and expected industry and general economic conditions. LearnCo has…
