The company has reported the following actual results for the product for April:
Actual output | 8,550 | units | |
Raw materials purchased | 61,710 | ounces | |
Actual cost of raw materials purchased | $ | 341,700 | |
Raw materials used in production | 60,735 | ounces | |
Actual direct labor-hours | 3,850 | hours | |
Actual direct labor cost | $ | 107,860 | |
Actual variable overhead cost | $ | 20,701 | |
Required:
a. Compute the materials price variance for April.
b. Compute the materials quantity variance for April.
c. Compute the labor rate variance for April.
d. Compute the labor efficiency variance for April.
e. Compute the variable overhead rate variance for April.
f. Compute the variable overhead efficiency variance for April.
(Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.)
a | Materials price variance |
b | Materials quantity variance |
c | Labor rate variance |
d | Labor efficiency variance |
e | Variable overhead rate variance |
f | Variable overhead efficiency rate |
Direct Material Price Variance = (Standard price – Actual Price)*Actual Quantity purchased
= (7.30 – Actual Rate)*61,710
= 7.30*61710 - 341700
= 108,783 Favorable
Direct Material Quantity Variance = (Standard Quantity – Actual Quantity)*Standard Price
= (8550*7.1 – 60735)*7.30
= $219 unfavorable
Direct labour rate variance = (Standard rate – actual rate)*actual hours
= (26.70-Actual rate)*3,850
= 26.7*3850 - 107860
= $5,065 unfavorable
Direct Labor Efficiency Variance = (Standard Hours – Actual Hours)*Standard rate
= (8550*0.6 – 3850)*26.70
= $34,176 favorable
Variable overhead rate = (5.60-Actual)*3850
= 5.60*3850 – 20701
= $859 favorable
Efficiency = (8550*0.6-3850)*5.60
= $7168 favorable
