Req-1(A)Computation of Material Price & Quanntity Variance |
Material price variance = (SP - AP) * AQ purchased ' = ($25 - $23.50) * 12000 = $18000 F |
Material quantity variance = (SQ - AQ Used ) * SP ' = (9020 Ounce - 9250 Ounce ) * $25 = $5750 U |
Refrence |
Standard qty of material = 4100 Units *2.2 Ounces= 9020 ounce |
Actual quantity of material purchased = 12000 ounce |
Actual quantity of material used = 12000 - 2750 = 9250 ounce |
Standard price of material = $25 per ounce |
Actual price of material = $282,000 / 12000 = $23.50 |
Req-1(B),Yes , Company should signed a contract because , Material Price variance shows favourable which shows that actual material procurement price is lesser than Standard Price. |
Solution 2a: |
Refrence |
Standard hours of direct labor = 4100 Unit *0.50 Hour = 2050 hours |
Standard rate of direct labor = $15 per hour |
Actual hours of direct labor = 25 Technician *110 Hour = 2750 hours |
Actual rate of direct labor = $11.50 per hour |
Req-2(a) Labour Rate & Efficiency Variance |
Direct labor rate variance = (SR - AR) * AH = ($15 - $11.50) * 2750 Hour = $9625 F |
Direct labor efficiency variance = (SH - AH) * SR = (2050 - 2750) * $15= $10500 U |
Req:2(b)NO, New labor mix should not be continued because Employing more assistant rather senior technician resulted in favorable direct labor rate variance but unfavorable laor efficiency variance. Further unfavorable efficiency variance is higher than favorable rate variance, |
Req-3 Variable OH Rate & Efficiency Variance |
Variable overhead rate variance = (SR - AR) * AH = ($3 - $0.87) *2750 = $5857.50 F |
Variable overhead efficiency variance = (SH - AH) *
SR = (2050 - 2750) * $3 = $2100 U |
Refrence |
Standard hours of direct labor = 4100 Unit *0.50 Hour = 2050 hours |
Standard rate of variable overhead= $3 per hour |
Actual hours of direct labor = 25 Technician *110 Hour = 2750 hours |
Actual rate of variable overhead = $2400 / 2750 = $0.87 |
