Question
Hopkins Clothiers is a small company that manufactures tall-men's suits. The company has used a standard cost accounting system. In May 2014, 10,800 suits were produced. The following standard and actual cost data applied to the month of May when normal capacity was 13,000 direct labor hours. All materials purchased were used. Overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor hours. At normal capacity, budgeted fixed overhead costs were $49,400, and budgeted variable overhead was $39,000. (a) Compute the total, price, and quantity variances for (1) materials and (2) labor. (b) Compute the total overhead Total overhead varianceExplanation / Answer
1)Total material variance =ACtual cost -(SQ*SR)
= 411138 -[ (10800*9)*4.4]
= 411138 - 427680
= - 16542 F
Rate variance =AQ [AR-SR]
= 97890 [4.2-4.4]
= -19578 F
Quantity variance = SR [AQ-SQ]
= 4.4 [ 97890 - (10800*9)]
= 4.4 [97890 - 97200]
= 3036 U
2)Total labor variance = ACtual cost -standard cost
= 197261 - [(10800*1.3)*13]
= 197261 - 182520
= 14741 u
Rate variance = AH [AR-SR[
= 14710 [13.41-13]
= 6031. U
quantity variance = SR [AH-SH]
= 13 [14710 - (10800*1.3)]
= 13 [14710 - 14040]
= 8710 U
3)Total overhead variance = Actual overhead -absorbed overhead
= [48800+37000]-[6.8*14710]
=85800 -100028
= - 14228 F
