Question

Preble Company manufactures one product. Its variable manufacturing overhead is applied to production based on direct labor-hours and its standard cost card per unit is as follows: Direct materials: 5 pounds at $10 per pound $ 50 Direct labor: 3 hours at $17 per hour 51 Variable overhead: 3 hours at $7 per hour 21 Total standard cost per unit $ 122 The planning budget for March was based on producing and selling 24,000 units. However, during March the company actually produced and sold 30,600 units and incurred the following costs: a. Purchased 170,000 pounds of raw materials at a cost of $9.00 per pound. All of this material was used in production. b. Direct laborers worked 68,000 hours at a rate of $18 per hour. c. Total variable manufacturing overhead for the month was $512,040

1. What raw materials cost would be included in the company’s flexible budget for March?

2. What is the materials price variance for March? (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance.).)

3. What is the materials quantity variance for March? (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance.).)

4. If Preble had purchased 183,000 pounds of materials at $9.00 per pound and used 170,000 pounds in production, what would be the materials price variance for March? (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance.). Do not round intermediate calculations.)

5. If Preble had purchased 183,000 pounds of materials at $9.00 per pound and used 170,000 pounds in production, what would be the materials quantity variance for March? (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance.). Do not round intermediate calculations.)

6. What direct labor cost would be included in the company’s planning budget for March?

7. What direct labor cost would be included in the company’s flexible budget for March?

8. What is the labor rate variance for March? (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance.). Do not round intermediate calculations.)

9. What is the labor efficiency variance for March? (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance.). Do not round intermediate calculations.)

10. What is the labor spending variance for March? (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance.). Do not round intermediate calculations.)

11. What variable manufacturing overhead cost would be included in the company’s planning budget for March?

12. What variable manufacturing overhead cost would be included in the company’s flexible budget for March?

Explanation / Answer

1. What raw materials cost would be included in the company’s flexible budget for March?

Raw materials cost = Standard Cost per unit*No of unit produced

Raw materials cost = 50*30600

Raw materials cost = $ 1,530,000

2. What is the materials price variance for March? (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance.).)

Materials price variance = (Actual price - Standard Price) *Actual Quantity Purchased

Materials price variance = (9-10)*170000

Materials price variance = $ 170000 Favorable

3. What is the materials quantity variance for March? (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance.).)

Materials usage/quantity variance = (Actual Quantity Used- Standard Quantity)Standard Price

Materials usage/quantity variance = (170000 - 5*30600 )*10

Materials usage/quantity variance = $170000 Unfavorable

4. If Preble had purchased 183,000 pounds of materials at $9.00 per pound and used 170,000 pounds in production, what would be the materials price variance for March? (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance.). Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Materials price variance = (Actual price - Standard Price) *Actual Quantity purchased

Materials price variance = (9-10)*183000

Materials price variance = $ 183000 Favorable

5. If Preble had purchased 183,000 pounds of materials at $9.00 per pound and used 170,000 pounds in production, what would be the materials quantity variance for March? (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance.). Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Materials usage/quantity variance = (Actual Quantity Used- Standard Quantity)Standard Price

Materials usage/quantity variance = (170000 - 5*30600 )*10

Materials usage/quantity variance = $170000 Unfavorable
