Rogen Corporation manufactures a single product. The standard cost per unit of product is shown below.

Direct materials—1 pound plastic at $8.00 per pound $ 8.00
Direct labor—2.0 hours at $12.15 per hour 24.30
Variable manufacturing overhead 12.00
Fixed manufacturing overhead 8.00
Total standard cost per unit $52.30

The predetermined manufacturing overhead rate is $10.00 per direct labor hour ($20.00 ÷ 2.0). It was computed from a master manufacturing overhead budget based on normal production of 11,200 direct labor hours (5,600 units) for the month. The master budget showed total variable costs of $67,200 ($6.00 per hour) and total fixed overhead costs of $44,800 ($4.00 per hour). Actual costs for October in producing 4,300 units were as follows.

Direct materials (4,480 pounds) $ 36,288
Direct labor (8,480 hours) 106,424
Variable overhead 61,918
Fixed overhead 25,882
    Total manufacturing costs $230,512


The purchasing department buys the quantities of raw materials that are expected to be used in production each month. Raw materials inventories, therefore, can be ignored.

Homework Answers

Answer #1

Compute all of the materials and labor variances.

Total materials variance (4300*8-36288) = 1888 Unfavorable
Materials price variance (8*4480-36288) = 448 Unfavorable
Materials quantity variance (4300-4480)*8 = 1440 Unfavorable
Total labor variance (4300*24.30-106424) = 1934 Unfavorable
Labor price variance (12.15*8480-106424) = 3392 Unfavorable
Labor quantity variance (8600-8480)*12.15 = 1458 Favorable


(b)

Compute the total overhead variance.

Total overhead variance (4300*20-87800) = 1800

Unfavorable
