Answer #1

Given that                                       
Opening direct material is Nil                                      
Purchases is 602 kgs of $ 12000                                      
Closing Direct material is 39 Kgs                                      
Hence, Material used in Production is as follows                                      
Formula for consumption of raw material is                                      
Consumption=opening+Purchases-closing of direct raw material                                      
Therefore, by substituting the given figures in the above formula=0+602-39                                      
                       563 Kgs              
Material cost as per purchase cost= $12000/602 kgs                                      
           19.94 per kg approx                          
Missing figures in the given table is as follows:                                      
Material used in the production = 563 kgs                                      
Material cost as per consumption = 563 X 19.94                                      
           $11,226                           
Computation of Variances:                                      
A. Direct Material Price(Rate) Variance:                                      
Formula: SPAQ minus APAQ                                      
SQ= Standard quantity for actual production or output                                      
SP= Standard Price                                      
AQ= Actual quantity of materials consumed                                      
AP= Actual Price                                      
Here SQ= 400 kgs                                      
SP= $8000/400 kgs                                      
= $ 20 per Kg                                      
AP= $ 19.94 per Kg                                      
AQ= 563 Kgs                                      
By substituting the above figures in the formula,                                      
= (20X563) - (19.94x563)                                      
= 34 (Adverse)                                      
                                      
B. Direct Material Efficiency Variance                                      
Formula: SPSQ minus SPAQ                                      
By substituting the above figures in the formula,                                      
(20X400) - (20X563)                                      
3260(Adverse)                                      
                                      
C. Direct Labour Price Variance                                      
Formula: SRAH minus ARAH                                      
SR= Standard rate of labour per hour                                      
SH= Standard hours for actual production or output                                      
AH= actual hours                                      
AR= actual rate of labour per hour                                      
SR= $385000/ 35000 hrs                                      
$11 per hour                                      
SH= 35000 hrs                                      
AH= 41010 hrs                                      
AR= $450951/41010 hrs                                      
$ 10.996 or $ 11 approx                                      
By substituting the above figures in the formula,                                      
(11 x 41010) - (10.996x 41010)                                      
159(favorable)                                      
                                      
D.Direct Labour Efficiency Variance                                      
Formula: SRSH minus SRAH                                      
By substituting the above figures in the formula,                                      
( 11 x 35000) - ( 11 x 41010)                                      
66110(Adverse)                                      
                                      
E. Variable Overhead Rate (Spending) Variance                                      
This variance is due to the difference between standard variable overhead rate and actual variable overhead rate                                      
for the actual time taken. It is calculated on the pattern of direct labour rate variance.                                      
Variable Overhead Rate (Spending) Variance= Actual time (standard variable overhead rate per hour minus actual variable overhead rate per hour)                                      
               = Standard variable overheads - actual variable overheads                      
Therefore Standard variable overheads= $350000 , Actual variable overheads=$411411                                      
               = $350000 - $ 411411                      
               = 61411(Adverse)                      
                                      
F. Variable overhead efficiency variance                                      
This variance is due to difference between standard hours for actual output and the actual hours taken at the standard variable overhead rate.                                      
In otherwords, variable overhead efficiency variance is a measure of the extra overhead (or savings) incurred solely because direct usage exceedeed                                      
(or was less than) the standard direct labour hours allowed.                                      
Efficiency variance= Standard variable overhead rate per hour x (Standard hours for actual production- actual hours)                                      
Standard variable overhead rate per hour= $350000/ 35000 hrs                                      
                   $10 per hour                  
Standard hours for actual production= 35000 hrs, actual hours= 41010 hrs                                      
Therefore, $10 ( 35000 - 41010)                                      
   60100(Adverse)                                  
                                      
G. Fixed overhed rate (Flexible Budget) Variance                                      
This variance arises due to the difference between the budgeted fixed overheads and the actual fixed overheads incurred during a particular period.                                      
It shows the efficiency in spending. This variance arises dueto the following                                      
a. Rise in general price level                                      
b. changes in production methods                                      
c.ineffective control                                      
Formula= Budgeted fixed overhead minus actual fixed overhead                                      
Budgeted fixed overhead is $160000 and actual fixedoverhead is $136358                                      
Therefore $ 160000 - $136358                                      
   23642(favourble)                                  
                                      
H. Fixed Overhead Production Volume Variance                                      
Formula SRSH minus SRAH                                      
SR = $160000/35000                                      
$4.57                                       
SH= 35000 hrs                                      
AH= 41010 hrs                                      
Therefore by applying the formula then                                       
27472(Adverse)
