Written Assignment #3-Material and labor variances

FOR 25 ASSIGNMENT POINTS...............Complete the following:

The following data pertain to the first week of operations during June:

Materials:

Actual purchases........................................1500 units @$3.80/unit

Actual usage...............................................1350 units

Standard usage...........................................1020 units @$4.00/unit

Labor:

Actual hours...............................................310 hours @ $12.10/hour

Standard hours...........................................340 hours @ $12.00/hour

Complete the three material variances and the two labor variances.

Explanation / Answer

Material Price Variance

= (Actual price – standard price) x actual purchase

= ($3.80/unit - $4/unit) x 1500 unit

= $300 F

Material Quantity Variance

= (actual usage – standard usage) x standard price

= (1350 units – 1020 pounds) x $4 / units

= $1320 U

Total Material Variance

= Material price variance + material usage variance

= $300F + $1320U

= $1020 U

2)

Labour rate variance

= (Actual labour rate – standard labour rate) x Actual usage of labour

= ( $12.10/hour - $12/hour) x 310 hours

= $31 U

Labour efficiency variance

= (actual usage – standard usage) x standard rate

= (310 hours – 340 hours) x $12/hour

= $360 F
