Galla Corporation makes a product with the following standard costs:
Direct Materials:
Standard Quantity or Hours: 8.2 pounds
Standard Price or Rate: $7.00 per pound
Standard Cost per unit: $57.40
Direct labor:
Standard Quantity or Hours: 0.4 hours
Standard Price or Rate$20.00 per hour
Standard Cost per unit: $8.00
Variable overhead:
Standard Quantity or Hours: 0.4 hours
Standard Price or Rate: $2.00 per hour
Standard Cost per unit: $0.80
The company budgeted for production of 2,400 units in June, but actual production was 2,500 units. The company used 19,850 pounds of direct material and 980 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The company purchased 21,700 pounds of the direct material at $6.70 per pound. The actual direct labor rate was $19.20 per hour and the actual variable overhead rate was $1.80 per hour.
The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased.
2) The variable overhead rate variance for June is:
A) $196 U
B) $200 F
C) $200 U
D) $196 F
Explanation / Answer
Answer:1
Sales and variable cost are calculated as: no. of units * price per unit
Contribution margin is calculated as: Sales - Variable cost
Net operating income is calculated as: Contribution margin - fixed expenses
Calculation of net operating income according to the management's proposal:
Ner sales units = 6000+600 = 6600
New variable cost per unit = $36 + $16 (sales commission) = $52
New fixed cost = 716000 - 84000 (cost saving) =$632000
Net change in company's net operating income = 212800 - 148000 = $64800
Therefore, company's overall net operating will increase by $64800 if the new proposed incentive is applied.
Answer:2
The variable overhead rate variance = AH (SR - AR)
= 980 hours ( $2 - $1.80)
= 980*$0.20 = $196 F
units Price per unit Total cost Sales 6000 $ 180.00 $ 10,80,000.00 Variable cost 6000 $ 36.00 $ 2,16,000.00 Contribution margin 6000 $ 144.00 $ 8,64,000.00 Fixed expenses $ 7,16,000.00 Profit $ 1,48,000.00
