Question

Apollo Sports manufacturers fabric tents. The poles are purchased from a vendor, so the only part manufactured is the actual fabric tent. The company uses a standard cost system based on manufacturing 5,000 tents per month. Overhead is applied on a per-unit basis. In May, 4,840 tents were produced. Management has a policy that all variances greater than 3% from standard should be investigated. Standard and actual costs are listed below: Standard Direct material 18 yards at $3.20 per yard Direct labor 6.5 hours at $16.00 per hour Overhead applied $12.00 per tent Actual Direct material 86,550 yards at $3.25 per yard Direct labor 32,100 hours at $15.80 per hour Actual overhead $56,750 Instructions: 1. Compute the total, price, and quantity variances for both materials and labor.        State if each variance is favorable or unfavorable. 2. Compute the total, volume, and budget overhead variances. State if favorable        or unfavorable. 3. Prepare journal entries for the application of overhead, the actual overhead,       and to record variances and close the overhead account. Note that on the actual       overhead, you will not have individual expense account amount, so just list       "various" for the expense accounts. 4. Always label all of your work.

Explanation / Answer

Answer:1 Material Price variance=(SP-AP)*Actual Quantity

=($3.20-$3.25)*86550

=4327.5 Unfavourable

Material Quantity variance=(SQ-AQ)*SP

=(4840*18 yards-86550)*$3.20

=1824 F

Direct labor rate variance=(SR-AR)*Actual hours

=(16-15.80)*32100

=6420 F

Direct labor efficiency variance=(SH-AH)*SR

=(4840*6.5-32100)*16

=10240 Unfavourable

Total direct labor variance=Direct labor rate variance+Direct labor Efficiency variance

=6420F+10240U

=3820 Unfavourable

Total material variance=Material Price variance+Material quantity variance

=4327.5 U+1824F

=2503.5 U

Answer:2 Total overhead variance=58080-56750

=1330 F
