Question

1. The following information was taken from the annual manufacturing overhead cost budget of Coen Company.

                        Variable manufacturing overhead costs                    $69,300

                        Fixed manufacturing overhead costs                        $41,580

                        Normal production level in labor hours                        23,100

                        Normal production level in units                                    5,775

                        Standard labor hours per unit                                               4

During the year, 5,600 units were produced, 18,340 hours were worked, and the actual manufacturing overhead was $113,400. Actual fixed manufacturing overhead costs equaled budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead costs. Overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor hours. Coen's total overhead variance is

c.   $5,880 U.

a.   $1,260 U.

4. Sonic Corporation%u2019s variance report for the purchasing department reports 500 units of material A purchased and 1,200 units of material B purchased. It also reports standard prices of $2 for Material A and $3 for Material B. Actual prices reported are $2.10 for Material A and $2.80 for Material B. Sonic should report a total price variance of

c.   $20 U.

Explanation / Answer

Hi,


Please find the answers as follows:


Part A:


Total overhead variance = Total Overhead Cost Absorbed - Total Overhead Cost Incurred


Total overhead variance = (69300 + 41580)/5775*5600 - 113400 = 5880 (U)


Part B:


Controllable Variance = (69300/5775*5600 + 41580) - 113400 = 4620 (U)


Part C:


Volume Variance = Fixed Overhead Cost Absorbed - Budgeted Fixed Overhead Cost

Volume Variance =41580/5775*5600 - 41580 = 1260 (U)


Part D:


Material Price Variance = Actual Quantity*(Actual Rate - Standard Rate)

Material A = 500*(2.10 - 2) = 50 (U)

Material B = 1200*(2.8 - 3) = 240 (F)


Material Price Variance = 240 - 50 = 190 (F) (Please check this answer again, the answer mentioned by you is wrong.


Thanks.
