Question

1. Dana, Inc. recently completed 40,000 units of a product that was expected to consume 6 pounds of direct material per finished unit. The standard price of the direct material was $7.50 per pound. If the firm purchased and consumed 246,000 pounds in manufacturing (cost = $1,785,600), the direct-material quantity variance would be

$59,400F.

$59,400U.

$45,000F.

None of these.

$45,000U.   

2. Orion recently reported sales revenues of $747,000, a total contribution margin of $279,000, and fixed costs of $210,000. If sales volume amounted to 9,000 units, the company's variable cost per unit must have been:

$34.

$94.

an amount other than those above.

$14.

$52.   

3. Yellow Dot, Inc. sells a single product for $15. Variable costs are $5 per unit and fixed costs total $130,000 at a volume level of 7,500 units. What dollar sales level would Yellow Dot have to achieve to earn a target profit of $220,000?

$525,000.

$325,000.

$425,000.

$112,500.

$625,000.

4. The following data relate to product no. 89 of Des Moines Corporation:

Direct material standard: 3 square feet at $2.90 per square foot
Direct material purchased: 29,000 square feet at $3.20 per square foot
Direct material consumed: 28,000 square feet
Manufacturing activity: 9,200 units completed

Assume that the company computes variances at the earliest point in time.

The direct-material quantity variance is:

$1,160U.

$4,360F.

$1,160F.

$1,280U.

$1,280F.

The direct-material price variance is:

$8,900F.

$8,900U.

$8,500U.

$8,700U.

$8,700F.

Explanation / Answer

1)correct option is "E" -4500U

[Material quantity varinace = SR(AQ-SQ)]

                           = 7.5 [246000- (40000*6]) = 7.5 [246000-240000] = 7.5*6000 = 45000

2) CORRect option is "E" - 52

[variable cost pe runit = (747000-279000)/9000= 52]

3)correct option is "A" -525000

CM ratio = (15-5)/15 = 10/15= .6667

$ sales required to achieve target profit = (Fixed cost +desired profit) /CM ratio

                                           = [130000+220000]/.6667

                                           = $ 524974         [approx to 52500 ,difference of $26 due to decimal in CM ratio]

4)Quantity variance =SR [AQ-SQ)

                       = 2.9 [28000 - (9200*3)]

                      = 2.9 *[28000 - 27600 ] = 1160 U

Correct option is "A"

Price variance = AQ[AP-SP]

                  = 29000 [3.2-2.9]

                  = 8700 U

Correct option is "D"

Material price will be calculated at purchase time as it is mention variance is calculated at earliest point of time .
