Fortes Inc. has provided the following data concerning one of the products in its standard cost system. Variable manufacturing overhead is applied to products on the basis of direct labor-hours

Inputs

Standard Quantity or hours per unit of output Standard Price/rate
Direct materials 8.0 ouncs $8.1 per ounce
Direct Labor .5 hours $24.7 per hour
Variable manufacturing overhead .5 hours $6.4 per hour
The company has reported the following actual results for the product for April

Actual output 6,500 units
Raw materials purchased 62,350 ounces
Actual cost of raw materials purchased $386,210
raw materials used in production 52,020 ounces
Actual direct labor hours 3,450 hours
Actual direct labor cost $88,880
Actual variable overhead cost $21,295
Required:

a. Compute the materials price variance for April.

b. Compute the materials quantity variance for April.

c. Compute the labor rate variance for April.

d. Compute the labor efficiency variance for April.

e. Compute the variable overhead rate variance for April.

f. Compute the variable overhead efficiency variance for April.

(Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

a) Material price variance = (8.1*62350-386210) = 118825 F

b) Material quantity variance = (6500*8-52020)*8.1 = 162 U

c) Labor rate variance = (24.7*3450-88880) = 3665 U

d) Labor efficiency variance = (6500*.5-3450)*24.7 = 4940 U

e) Variable overhead rate variance = (6.4*3450-21295) = 785 F

f) Variable overhead efficiency variance = (3250-3450)*6.4 =

1280 U
