1 Calculation of Direct Material Price Variance and
Direct Material Quantity Variance
Direct Material Price Variance = (Std. Price -Actual Price ) *
Actual Qty.
= ($7.5 per yard - $ 8 per yard)* 14,000 yards
= - $7,000 ( Unfavourable)
Direct Materials Quantity Variance = (Std. Qty. -Actual Qty. ) *
Std. Price
= ((5,000 jackets* 2.5 yards per jacket)-14,000 yards)* $ 7.5 per
yard
= - $11,250 ( Unfavourable)
2 Calculation of Direct Labor rate variance and Direct
Labor efficiency variance
Direct Labor Rate Variance = Actual Hours * Std. Rate
- Actual Hours * Actual Rate?
= (7,300 hours *$ 9 per hour) -(7,300 hours * $ 9.5 per hour)
= - $3,650 ( Unfavourable)
[Here Actual Rate $9.5 is derived as $ 69,350/7,300
Hours)
Direct Labor Efficiency Variance = (Std. Hours ×
Std. Rate) - (Actual Hours × Std. Rate)
= (7,500 hours * $ 9 per hour)-(7,300 hours * $ 9 per hour)
= $1,800 ( Favourable)
3 Significane of each variance:
Direct Material Price Variance: Unfavourable variance
means that produrement at higher price resulted increase in the
costs by $7,000.
Direct Materials Quantity Variance: Unfavourable variance means that the use of 1,500 additional yards ( 14,000 yards - 5,000 jackets * 2.5 yards per jacket) increased costs by $11,250
Direct Labor Rate Variance: Actual Direct Labour rate $ 9.50 per hour is higher than the standard direct labor rate of $ 9.0 per hour. Clearly, this is unfavorable since the actual rate worked was higer than the standard rate. Financial impact is $ -3,650.
Direct Labor Efficiency Variance: 7,300 actual hours worked is lower than the 7,500 standard hours. Clearly, this is favorable since the actual hours worked was lower than the standard hours. Financial Impact is $ 1,800.
