Koontz Company manufactures a number of products. The standards relating to one of these products are shown below, along with actual cost data for May Standard Cost per Actual Cost per Unit Unit Direct materials: standard: 1.90 feet at $4.80 per foot Actual: 1.85 feet at $5.20 per foot 9.12 $9.62 Direct labor: standard: 1.45 hours at $20.00 per hour Actual: 1.50 hours at $19.50 per hour 29.00 29.25 Variable overhead: Standard: 1.45 hours at $10.00 per hour Actual: 1.50 hours at $9.60 per hour 14.50 14.40 Total cost per unit $52.62 53.27 Excess of actual cost over standard cost per unit 0.65 The production superintendent was pleased when he saw this report and commented: "This $0.65 excess cost is well within the 4 percent limit management has set for acceptable variances. It's obvious that there's not much to worry about with this product." Actual production for the month was 19,500 units. Variable overhead cost is assigned to products on the basis of direct labor-hours There were no beginning or ending inventories of materials Required: 1. Compute the following variances for May: a. Materials price and quantity variances b. Labor rate and efficiency variances c. Variable overhead rate and efficiency variances 2. How much of the $0.65 excess unit cost is traceable to each of the variances computed in (1 above 3. How much of the $0.65 excess unit cost is traceable to apparent inefficient use of labor time? Required 1Required 2 Required 3 1a. Compute the following variances for May, materials price and quantity variances. 1b. Compute the following variances for May, labor rate and efficiency variances 1c. Compute the following variances for May, variable overhead rate and efficiency variances.

Answer 1

1a)
Material Price Variance
(Standard Price-Actual Price)*Actual Quantity
(4.80-5.20)*19500*1.85
-14430	(Unfavorable)
Material Quantity Varaince
(Standard Quantity for Actual Output-Actual Output)*Standard Price
(1.90*19500-19500*1.85)*4.80
4680	(Favorable)
1b)
Labor Rate Variance
(Standard Rate-Actual Rate)*Actual Hours
(20-19.50)*19500*1.50
14625	(Favorable)
Labor Efficiency Variance
(Standard Hours for Actual Output-Actual Hours)*Standard Rate
(1.45*19500-1.50*19500)*20
-19500	(Unfavorable)
1c)
Variable Overhead rate Variance
(Standard Rate-Actual Rate)*Actual Hours
(10-9.60)*1.50*19500
11700	(Favorable)
Variable overhead efficiency Variance
(Standard Hours for Actual Output-Actual Hours)*Standard Rate
(1.45*19500-1.50*19500)*10
-9750	(Unfavorable)

Efficiency Variance	-9750
Sum of Variances	-12675
Excess of actual over	-0.65	(12675/19500)
Standard Cost per unit
Excess of actual over standard cost per unit			-0.65
Less: Poriton attributable to labor inefficiency:
Labor efficiency Variance		-0.25
		(14625-19500)/19500
Variable Overhead efficiency		0.1	-0.15
variance		(11700-9750)/19500
Balance due to other variances			-0.5
