Calculation of Value-Added and Non-Value-Added Costs, Activity Volume and Unused Capacity Variances
Maquina Company produces custom-made machine parts. Maquina recently has implemented an activity-based management (ABM) system with the objective of reducing costs. Maquina has begun analyzing each activity to determine ways to increase its efficiency. Setting up equipment was among the first group of activities to be carefully studied. The study revealed that setup hours was a good driver for the activity. During the last year, the company incurred fixed setup costs of $588,800 (salaries of 16 employees). The fixed costs provide a capacity of 36,800 hours (2,300 per employee at practical capacity). The setup activity was viewed as necessary, and the value-added standard was set at 2,300 hours. Actual setup hours used in the most recent period were 34,700.
Required:
1. Calculate the volume and unused capacity variances for the setup activity. Enter all amounts as positive values.
| Volume Variance | $ |
|
| Unused Capacity Variance | $ |
|
2. Prepare a report that presents value-added, non-value-added, and actual costs for setup.

Homework Answers
| Part-1 |
| Fixed Activity Rate (SP) =Fixed Setup Cost/ No. of Hour |
| $588800/36800=$16/Set upHour |
| Volume Variance= (SPXSQ-SPX AQ) |
| (16X2300)-(16X 36800)=$552000 UF |
| Unused Capacity Variance= (SPXAQ)-(SPX AU) |
| (16X36800)- (16X 34700)=33600F |
| Part-2: Value & Non-Value Added Cost Report | |||
| Value Added | Non Value Added | Actual | |
| Setting Up | (SPXSQ) | Volume Variance | SPX AQ |
| (16X 2300) | (16X36800) | ||
| 36,800 | 5,52,000 | 5,88,800 | |

Mastery Problem: Manufacturing Cost Variance (Actual Costs Compared to Standard Costs) Manufacturing cost variances may come from material costs that are higher or lower than expected, material usage that is not what was expected, higher or lower labor costs than expected, or more or less time spent to produce an item than expected. Overhead cost and volume variances are another cause for costs to be higher or lower than what was expected. The total manufacturing variance can be broken down...
