Required:
A. Compute the price and volume variances for sales, assuming that
Big Al’s sold all pizzas produced for $137,565 (meat) and $9,051
(veggie). What might explain these variances?
B. Compute the price and quantity variances for direct materials
for each type of pizza, assuming that Big Al’s paid $29,093 for
32,325 units of raw material for meat pizzas and $1,453 for 2,401
units of raw material for veggie pizzas.(A unit consists of dough
shell, sauce, cheese, meat or veggies, and assembly materials.) In
addition, 30,995 units were used to produce meat pizzas, and 2,149
units were used to produce veggie pizzas. How would these variances
be interpreted? What might explain these variances? Would you
consider them to be large enough to be important?
C. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances, assuming that
Big Al’s paid $71,350 in labor costs for 7,150 hours of labor for
meat pizzas and $6,425 in labor costs for 650 hours of labor for
veggie pizzas. How would these variances be interpreted? What might
explain them? Would you consider them large enough to be
important?
D. Using the predetermined overhead rate from Part 3 (with
direct labor hours as the cost driver), compute the variable
overhead rate and efficiency variances. Assume that Big Al’s paid
$20,852 in total overhead costs, consisting of $17,002 of variable
overhead and $3,850 of fixed overhead. How would these variances be
interpreted? What might explain these variances? Would you consider
them large enough to be important?
E. How might Big Al’s extend its variance analysis to be compatible
with its use of activity-based costing as discussed in Part 3?

Soundset manufactures headphone cases. During September 2018,
the company produced and sold 107,000 cases.
Please compute the cost and efficiency variances for direct
materials and direct labor.
For manufacturing overhead, compute the variable overhead cost
and efficiency variances and the fixed overhead cost and volume
variances. If Soundset’s management decided to use better quality
materials during September, what would be the trade-off between
the two direct material variances.
Thanks in advance ?
