(a).

To determine

The cost per unit of each variable overhead item and its total per unit costs.

1.

(a).

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Calculation of the variable cost per unit:

Variable overhead cost item Total cost ($) Expected production volume Cost per unit ($)
Indirect materials 22,500 15,000 1.50
Indirect labor 90,000 15,000 6.00
Power 22,500 15,000 1.50
Repairs and maintenance 45,000 15,000 3.00
Total variable overhead cost per unit 12.00
Table(1)

Thus, the total variable overhead cost per unit is $12.

(b).

To determine

The total fixed costs per month.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation of the total fixed costs per month.

Fixed overhead cost item Amount ($)
Depreciation building 24,000
Depreciation machinery 72,000
Taxes and insurance 18,000
Supervision 66,000
Total 180,000
Table(2)

Hence, the total fixed cost per month is $180,000.

Total fixed cost 180,000 180,000 180,000 180,000
Total overheads 336,000 360,000 384,000
Table(3)

Thus, the flexible budget estimates the total variable, fixed and overhead costs as mentioned above.

Explanation of Solution

Given,
The actual material used is 69,000 lbs.
The standard quantity of materials for actual production is 67,500 lbs.
The actual price is $6.10 per lb.
The standard price is $6.00 per lb.

Calculation of direct material cost variance,

Particulars Amount ($)
Actual units at actual cost ( 69,000×$6.10 ) 420,900
Standard units at standard cost ( 67,500×$6.00 ) 405,000
Direct material cost variance 15,900 (unfavorable)
Table(4)

The direct material cost variance is $15,900 (unfavorable).

Calculation of direct material price variance:

The formula to calculate the direct material price variance is,

   Directmaterialpricevariance=Actualquantity ×( ActualpriceStandardprice )

Substitute 69,000 lb. for the actual quantity, $6.10 for the actual price and $6 for the standard price in the above formula.

   Directmaterialpricevariance=69,000lb×( $6.10$6.00 )perlb =69,000lb×( $0.10 )perlb =$6,900U

The direct material price variance is $6,900 (unfavorable).

Calculation of direct material quantity variance:

The formula to calculate the direct material quantity variance is,

   Directmaterialquantityvariance=( ActualquantityStandardquantity ) ×Standardprice

Substitute 69,000 lb for the actual quantity, 67,500 lb for standard quantity and $6.00 for standard price in the above formula.

   Directmaterialquantityvariance=( 69,00067,500 )lb×$6perlb =1,500lb×$6.00perlb =$9,000U

The direct material quantity variance is $9,000 (unfavorable).

Hence, the direct material cost variance, price variance and quantity variance is $15,900 (unfavorable), $6,900 (unfavorable) and $9,000 (unfavorable).

Explanation of Solution

Given,

The actual hours used is 22,800 hours.
The standard hours for actual production are 22,500 hours.
The actual rate is $12.30 per hour.
The standard rate is $12.00 per hour.

Calculation of direct labor cost variance:

Particulars Amount ($)
Actual hours at actual cost ( 22,800hours×$12.30 ) 280,440
Standard hours at standard cost ( 22,500×$12.00 ) 270,000
Direct labor cost variance 10,440 (unfavorable)
Table(5)

The direct labor cost variance is $10,440 (unfavorable).

Calculation of direct labor rate variance:

The formula to calculate the direct labor rate variance is,

   Directlaborratevariance=Actualhours ×( ActualrateStandardrate )

Substitute 22,800 hours. for the actual hours, $12.30 for the actual rate and $12 for the standard rate in the above formula.

   Directlaborratevariance=22,800hours×( $12.30$12.00 )perlb =22,800hours×( $0.30 )perlb =$6,840U

The direct labor rate variance is $6,840 (unfavorable).

Calculation of direct labor efficiency variance:

The formula to calculate the direct labor efficiency variance is,

   Directlaborefficiencyvariance=( ActualhoursStandardhours ) ×Standardrate

Substitute 22,800 for the actual hours, 22,500 for standard hours and $12.00 for standard rate in the above formula.

   Directlaborefficiencyvariance=( 22,80022,500 )hours×$12perhour =300hours×$12.00perhour =$3,600U

The direct labor efficiency variance is $3,600 (unfavorable).

Hence, the direct labor cost variance, rate variance and efficiency variance is $10,440 (unfavorable), $6,840 (unfavorable) and $3,600 (unfavorable).
