Q no:1
Ans:Given that Santak Ltd produces two fragrances namely SWEET and WARM and the combined fixed cost is 52.500 Euros,
Computation of overall Break Even Point (BEP) (in euros)
BEP (In euros)= Fixed Cost/ PV Ratio (check working note 1 & 2)
= 52500/0.35135
= 149423 Euros.
Working note 1:
Particulars Sweet Warm Total
Sales(Sales Volume x Price/unit) 126000 96000 222000
(Sweet=70*1800=126000
Warm=80*1200=96000)
Less: Variable cost(Sales Volume x Variable cost/unit) 72000 72000 144000
(Sweet=40*1800=72000
Warm=60*1200=72000)
Contribution 54000 20000 78000
Total contribution for sweet and warm=78000
less: Fixed cost =52500
Profit 25500
Working note 2:
Formula for Break Even Point(In Value):-
F= Fixed cost, S= Sales, V= Variable Cost, C= Contribution, P=Profit, PV Ratio= Profit Volume Ratio.
Break Even Point (In Value) = F x S/ S-V or
= F x S/ C or
= F x S/ F +P or
= F/ PV Ratio (PV Ratio= C/S) or
= F/C/S or
= F/S minus V/S or
= F/1-V/S
Break Even Point (In Units) = Fixed cost/ contribution per unit ( If seperate fixed cost is given per product).
Q no:2
Ans:
(A).Computation of Production volume overhead variance:
Formula for Production volume overhead variance= (Actual units produced minus budgeted production units) budgeted overhead rate/unit.
i.e; (actual units produced x budgeted overhead rate per unit) minus ( budgeted production units x budgeted overhead rate/unit)
Therefore by substituting the values given in the question = (50*15) minus (120*11.50)
= 750-1380
= 630(Unfavourable)
Note: It compares the actual overhead cost with budgeted cost.
(B) Computation of Spending Overhead Variance:-
Formula for Spending Overhead Variance: (Actual production volume x Actual variable overhead rate) minus (Actual production volume x Budgeted variable overhead rate)
Therefor by substituting the values given in the question = (50*13.30) minus (50*15)
= 665 - 750
= 85(Favourable)
Note: Favourable variances causes due to decrease in indirect materials, labour, discount on purachese of material, use of latest technology in production and learning curve effect of labour etc.
Prof. Chiara Mio 1. Santa Itd realizes two fragrances Sweet and Warm, whose data are presented...
Problem One: Variance Analysis The Graves Manufacturing Company's costing system has two direct-cost categories: direct materials and direct manufacturing labor. Manufacturing overhead (both variable and fixed) is allocated to products on the basis of standard direct manufacturing labor-hours (DLH). At the beginning of 2017, the controller adopted the following standards for its manufacturing costs: 5 lb. at $5 per lb. 3 hrs. at $15 per hr. Direct materials Direct manufacturing labor Manufacturing overhead: Variable Fixed $7 per DLH $8 per...
