Question

The following information is for the standard and actual costs for the Happy Corporation. Standard Costs: - Budgeted units of production: 16,000 (80% of capacity) - Standard labor hours per unit: 4 - Standard labor rate: $26 per hour - Standard material per unit: 8 lbs. - Standard material cost: $12 per lb. - Budgeted fixed overhead: $640,000 - Standard variable overhead rate: $15 per labor hour. - Fixed overhead rate is based on budgeted labor hours at 80% capacity. Actual Cost: - Actual production: 16,500 units - Actual fixed overhead: $640,000 - Actual variable overhead: $1,000,000 - Actual labor: 65,000 hours, total labor costs $1,700,000 - Actual material purchased and used: 130,000 lbs, total material cost $1,600,000 - Actual variable overhead: $1,000,000 I. Determine: (a) The quantity variance, price variance, and total direct materials cost variance; and (b) The time variance, rate variance, and total direct labor cost variance. II. Briefly explain the relevance of each of these variances. What information do they provide to management? What conclusions should management derive from these results? Compute the following factory overhead variances: a. Volume Variance b. Controllable Variance c. Total Factory Overhead Cost Variance

          The following information is for the standard and actual costs for the Happy Corporation.

Standard Costs:
- Budgeted units of production: 16,000 (80% of capacity)
- Standard labor hours per unit: 4
- Standard labor rate: $26 per hour
- Standard material per unit: 8 lbs.
- Standard material cost: $12 per lb.
- Budgeted fixed overhead: $640,000
- Standard variable overhead rate: $15 per labor hour.
- Fixed overhead rate is based on budgeted labor hours at 80% capacity.

Actual Cost:
- Actual production: 16,500 units
- Actual fixed overhead: $640,000
- Actual variable overhead: $1,000,000
- Actual labor: 65,000 hours, total labor costs $1,700,000
- Actual material purchased and used: 130,000 lbs, total material cost $1,600,000
- Actual variable overhead: $1,000,000

I. Determine:
(a) The quantity variance, price variance, and total direct materials cost variance; and
(b) The time variance, rate variance, and total direct labor cost variance.

II. Briefly explain the relevance of each of these variances. What information do they provide to management? What conclusions should management derive from these results?

Compute the following factory overhead variances:
a. Volume Variance
b. Controllable Variance
c. Total Factory Overhead Cost Variance
