1 | Material price variance = AQ x (AR - SR) = 10000 x (3.29 - 3.50) = 10000 x -0.21 = $2100 F |
AR = $32900/10000 = $3.29 | |
Materials quantity variance = SR x (AQ - SQ) = 3.50 x (9000 - 6600) = 3.50 x 2400 = $8400 U | |
AQ = 10000 - 1000 = 9000 | |
SQ = (200 + 2000) x 3 = 6600 | |
2a. | Labor rate variance = AH x (AR - SR) = 1000 x (10.30 - 11.00) = 1000 x -0.70 = $700 F |
AR = $10300/1000 = $10.30 | |
Labor efficiency variance = SR x (AH - SH) = 11.00 x (1000 - 720) = 11.00 x 280 = $3080 U | |
SH = (200 x 0.6) + (2000 x 0.3) = 120 + 600 = 720 | |
b. | No. |
This could be the reason for the favorable labor rate variance but unfavorable labor efficiency variance. Hence this policy should not be continued. | |
3-a. | Variable overhead rate variance = AH x (AR - SR) = 1000 x (6.60 - 6.10) = 1000 x 0.50 = $500 U |
AR = $6600/1000 = $6.60 | |
Variable overhead efficiency variance = SR x (AH - SH) = 6.10 x (1000 - 720) = 6.10 x 280 = $1708 U | |
3-b. | Yes |
Both are based on direct labor hours. |

John Fleming, chief administrator for Valley View Hospital, is concerned about the costs for tests in the hospital's lab. Charges for lab tests are consistently higher at Valley View than at other hospitals and have resulted in many complaints. Also, because of strict regulations on amounts reimbursed for lab tests, payments received from Insurance companies and governmental units have not been high enough to cover lab costs.
