Question
Crash! Forgot to do a backup! Hard drive is toast! You have lost a portion of accounting information from Jordan and Taylor. Admitting your mistake will not only shake their confidence, but might also end your brownie deliveries. They are coming over to discuss variances in a couple hours.
The only information available from your calculations are the variances. You don't want to admit the actual values for those calculations are lost!!!
You still have the following standards.
Selling price to Yumminess at $10 per tin. The cost is $8 per tin, which includes $6 of direct material and $1.50 of direct labor. Direct labor is 1 hour per 100 tins. Annual manufacturing overhead is estimated at $100,000 for the expected sales of 200,000 tins. The breakdown for manufacturing overhead includes 85% of variable costs.
1. What is the standard fixed manufacturing overhead cost per tin? (1 point)
2. The Volume Variance is $750 F. How many units were actually produced during the year? (2 points)
3. How much is total budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead? (2 points)
4. The Controllable Variance is $3250 U. What was the total dollar amount for actual manufacturing overhead? (2 points)
5. What are the total standard hours allowed for actual production? (2 points)
6. The Labor Quantity Variance is $300 U. How many total actual hours were worked? (2 points)
7. What is the total standard cost of direct materials for total actual production? (2 points)
8. Total Material Price Variance is $16,800 U. What was the actual direct material cost for total actual production? (2 points)
Explanation / Answer
1) Solution: 0.075
Working:
Fixed manufacturing OH = 100,000 X 15% = $15,000
Number of tins = 200,000 units
Thus the standard fixed manufacturing OH per tin = 15,000 / 200,000 = 0.075
2) Solution: 210,000 units
Working:
Volume variance = Fixed rate * (Actual output - Budgeted output)
750 = 0.075 X (x - 200,000)
It gives, x = 200,000 + (750/0.075) = $210,000
3) Solution: $15,000
Working: Total budged fixed manufacturing overhead is $15,000
4) Solution: $102,500
Working:
Budgeted overhead $100,000
Minus: Favorable volume variance = $750
Plus: Unfavorable controllable variance = $3,250
Actual manufacturing overhead = $102,500
5) Solution: 2000 hours
Working:
For 100 tins = 1 Hr
Thus for 200,000 tins = 2000 hours (=200,000tins / 100tins)
6) Solution: 2,200 hours
Working:
Labor quantity variance = Standard rate X (Actual hours - Standard hours)
300 = 1.5 X (x - 2000)
or, x = 2000 + (300/1.5) = 2,200 hours
7) Solution: $1,260,000
Working:
Standard cost of direct materials for actual production = Standard rate X Actual units
= 6 X 210,000 = $1,260,000
8) Solution: $1,276,800
Working:
Material price variance = Actual Quantity X (Actual price - Standard price) =>
16,800 = 210,000 X (x - 6)
x = (16,800/210,000) + 6
= 6.08
Thus actual direct material cost = 210,000 X 6.08 = $1,276,800
