Hector Company has developed the following standard costs for its product for 2012: HECTOR COMPANY Standard Cost Card Product A Cost Element Standard Quantity × Standard Price = Standard Cost Direct materials 4 pounds $3 $12 Direct labor 3 hours 8 24 Manufacturing overhead 3 hours 4 12 $48 The company expected to produce 30,000 units of Product A in 2013 and work 90,000 direct labor hours. Actual results for 2013 are as follows: • 31,000 units of Product A were produced. • Actual direct labor costs were $746,200 for 91,000 direct labor hours worked. • Actual direct materials purchased and used during the year cost $346,500 for 126,000 pounds. • Actual variable overhead incurred was $155,000 and actual fixed overhead incurred was $205,000. Compute the following variances showing all computations to support your answers. Indicate whether the variance is favorable or unfavorable? (a) Materials Quantity Variance $ (b) Total Direct Labor Variance $ (c) Direct Labor Quantity Variance $ (d) Direct Materials Price Variance $ (e) Total Overhead Variance $
Total direct material cost variance = Actual direct material cost - Standard quantity of direct materials*Standard price | |||
= 346500-31000*4*3 = | 25500 | Favorable | |
d) | Materials price variance = Actual material cost-Actual quantity*Standard rate | ||
= 346500-126000*3 = | 31500 | Favorable | |
a) | Materials quantity variance = (Actual quantity-Standard quantity)*Standard rate | ||
= (126000-31000*4)*3 = | 6000 | Unfavorable | |
b) | Total direct labor variance = Actual labor cost-Standard labor cost | ||
=746200-31000*3*8 = | 2200 | Unfavorable | |
Direct labor price variance = Acutal labor cost-Actual hours*Standard rate | |||
= 746200-91000*8 = | 18200 | Unfavorable | |
c) | Direct labor quantity variance = (Actual hours-Standardhours)*Standard rate | ||
= (91000-31000*3)*8 = | 16000 | Favorable | |
e) | Total overhead variance = Actual overhead - Overhead assigned | ||
= (155000+205000)-31000*3*4 = | 12000 | Favorable |
