Question

Blackboard Learn Chapter 10 Homework C Not Secure ezto.mheducation.com/hm.tpx value: 5.00 polnts Koontz Company manufactures a number of products. The standards relating to one of these products are shown below, along with actual cost data for May StandardCost per Cost per Actual Unit Unit Direct materials: Standard: 1.80 feet at $1.80 per foot Actual: 1.75 feet at $2.00 per foot $ 3.24 $ 3.50 Direct labor: Standard: 0.90 hours at $16.00 per hour Actual: 0.95 hours at $15.40 per hour 14.40 14.63 Variable overhead: 3.60 Standard: 0.90 hours at $4.00 per hour Actual: 0.95 hours at $3.60 per hour 3.42 $21.55 $0.31 Total cost per unit $21.24 Excess of actual cost over standard cost per unit The production superintendent was pleased when he saw this report and commented: "This $0.31 excess cost is well within the 2 percent limit management has set for acceptable variances. It's obvious that there's not much to worry about with this product. Actual production for the month was 10,000 units. Variable overhead cost is assigned to products on the basis of direct labor-hours. There were no beginning or ending inventories of materials. Required: 1. Compute the following variances for May: a. Materials price and quantity variances. (Input all amounts as positive values. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (I.e, zero variance).) Materials price variance Materials quantity variance

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Actual Quantity (AQ) = Actual units X Actual Quantity of material per unit

                           = 10000 X 1.75

                           = 17500

Standard Quantity (SQ) = Actual Units X Standard Quantity of material per unit

                                        = 10000 X 1.80

                                        = 18000

Actual Price per Unit (AP) = 3.50

Standard Price per unit (SP) = 3.24

Material Price Variance = (SP – AP) X AQ

                                       = ( 3.24 - 3.50) X 17500

                                       = 4550 U

Material Quantity Variance = (SQ - AQ) X SP

                                                = (18000 - 17500) X 3.24

                                                = 1620 F
