BRIEF EXERCISE 11-1

(a) Standards are stated as a per unit amount. Thus, the standards are
materials $2.60 ($1,300,000 500,000) and labor $3.40 ($1,700,000
500,000).

(b) Budgets are stated as a total amount. Thus, the budgeted costs for the
year are materials $1,300,000 and labor $1,700,000.

BRIEF EXERCISE 11-2

(a) Standard direct materials price per gallon = $2.60 ($2.30 + $.20 + $.10).
(b) Standard direct materials quantity per gallon = 4 pounds (3.6 + .4).
(c) Standard materials cost per gallon = $10.40 ($2.60 X 4).

BRIEF EXERCISE 11-3

(a) Standard direct labor rate per hour = $15.00 ($13.00 + $.80 + $1.20).
(b) Standard direct labor hours per gallon = 1.5 hours (1.1 + .25 + .15).
(c) Standard labor cost per gallon = $22.50 ($15.00 X 1.5).

BRIEF EXERCISE 11-4

(b) The unfavorable materials quantity variance may be caused by the


carelessness or inefficiency of production workers. Alternatively, the
excess quantities may be caused by inferior quality materials acquired
by the purchasing department.
The unfavorable labor price variance may be caused by misallocation
of the work force by the production department. In this case, more
experienced workers may have been assigned to tasks normally done
by inexperienced workers. An unfavorable labor variance may also occur
when workers are paid higher wages than expected. The manager who
authorized the wage increase is responsible for this variance.

(b) One possible cause of an unfavorable materials quantity variance is


the purchase of substandard materials. Such materials would normally
be purchased at a lower price than normal, which means there would
also be favorable materials price variance. Substandard materials could
also cause work slowdowns and delays, causing an unfavorable labor
quantity variance. Therefore, the purchase of substandard materials could
cause all three variances mentioned.

Fixed overhead................................................ 19,800 16,500 1.20
Total overhead................................................. $54,450 16,500 $3.30

(b) Total overhead variance:


Actual Overhead Overhead Applied
$55,000 $52,800 = $2,200 U
(16,000* X $3.30)
*4,000 X 4 hrs. = 16,000 hrs.
Overhead controllable variance:

Overhead volume variance:
Fixed Overhead Normal Capacity Standard Hours
Rate X Hours Allowed
$1.20 X [(16,500 (4,000 X 4)] = $600 U

(c) The overhead controllable variance is generally associated with variable


overhead costs. Thus, this variance indicates the production managers
inefficiency in controlling variable overhead costs.
The overhead volume variance relates to fixed overhead costs. This
variance indicates whether plant facilities were efficiently used. In this
case 500 (16,500 16,000) hours of plant capacity were not utilized.

(a) 1. Overhead
Overhead Controllable
Total actual overhead cost = Budgeted + Variance

= ($18,000 + $12,600) + $1,200


= $31,800

2. Actual variable overhead cost = Actual Overhead Fixed Overhead


= $31,800 $12,600
= $19,200

3. Variable overhead cost applied = 2,000 hours X $9 = $18,000

4. Fixed overhead cost applied = 2,000 hours X $6 = $12,000

5. Overhead volume variance = Fixed Normal Standard



Overhead X Capacity

(b) Number of loans processed = Standard hours allowed

EXERCISE 11-23

(a) (Actual) (Applied) = Total Overhead Variance


($19,000) (1,800 X $10*) = $1,000 U

(Actual) (Budgeted) = Overhead Controllable Variance


($19,000) ($17,600) = $1,400 U

Fixed OH Normal Standard Hours Overhead Volume


Rate X Capacity Allowed = Variance
$3** (1,667*** 1,800) = $400 F

*$200,000/20,000 **($5,000 X 12)/20,000 ***20,000/12

(b) The cause of an unfavorable controllable variance could be higher than


expected use of indirect materials, indirect labor, and factory supplies, or
increases in indirect manufacturing costs, such as fuel and maintenance
costs. A favorable volume variance would be caused by production of
more units than what is considered normal capacity.

(c) The materials price variance is more than 4% from standard. The actual
price for materials of $4.15 is $.25 below the standard price of $4.40 or
5.7% ($.25 $4.40). The same result can be obtained by dividing the
total price variance by the total standard price for the quantities purchased
($22,625 $398,200).

The labor price variance is 5.2% from standard ($.70 $13.40). The
same result can be obtained by dividing the total price variance by the
total standard price for the direct labor hours used ($9,940 $190,280).

The labor quantity variance is 5.7% (760 13,440) from standard. The
same result can be obtained by dividing the total quantity variance by
the total standard price for the standard hours allowed ($10,184
$180,096).
