Direct Materials and Direct Labor Variances
Zoller Company produces a dark chocolate candy bar. Recently, the company adopted the following standards for one bar of the candy:
Direct materials (6.30 oz. @ $0.20) | $1.26 |
Direct labor (0.08 hr. @ $18.00) | 1.44 |
Standard prime cost | $2.70 |
During the first week of operation, the company experienced the following actual results:
Required:
Instructions for parts 1 and 2: If a variance is zero, enter "0" and select "Not applicable" from the drop down box.
1. Compute price and usage variances for direct materials.
Materials Price Variance | $ | Unfavorable |
Materials Usage Variance | $ | Unfavorable |
2. Compute the rate variance and the efficiency variance for direct labor.
Labor Rate Variance | $ | Favorable |
Labor Efficiency Variance | $ | Favorable |
Feedback
1. SP = Standard price per unit
AQ =Actual quantity of direct material used in production
SQ = Standard quantity of input for actual quantity of output
If necessary, refer to the textbook for the materials price
variance and usage variance formulas.
2.
AR = Actual hourly wage rate
SR = Standard hourly wage rate
AH =Actual direct labor hours used
SH = Standard direct labor hours that should have been
used
If necessary, refer to the textbook for the labor rate variance and
efficiency variance formulas.
3. Prepare the journal entries associated with direct materials and direct labor. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank or enter "0".
Record purchase of materials | |||
Record usage of materials | |||
Record labor variances |
Feedback
3. Companies must restate costs and inventories at the end of the year to actual cost. So, variance accounts must be closed out and their balances applied to Cost of Goods Sold (if immaterial) or prorated among Cost of Goods Sold, Work in Process, and Finished Goods.
ANSWER
MATERIAL PRICE VARIANCE = (STANDARD PRICE-ACTUAL PRICE)ACTUAL QTY
= (0.20-0.21)913,800
MATERIAL PRICE VARIANCE = 9138 UNFAVORABLE
MATERIAL USAGE VARIANCE = (STANDARD QTY-ACTUAL QTY)STANDARD PRICE
= (145,000*6.30 -913,800 )0.20
MATERIAL USAGE VARIANCE = 60 UNFAVORABLE
LABOR RATE VARIANCE = (STANDARD RATE-ACTUAL RATE)ACTUAL HOUR
= (18-17.20)11,460
LABOR RATE VARIANCE = 9168 FAVORABLE
LABOR EFFICIENCY VARIANCE = (STANDARD HOUR-ACTUAL HOUR)ST RATE
= (145,000 *.08-11,460 )18
LABOR EFFICIENCY VARIANCE = 2520 FAVORABLE
