Question

STANDARD COSTS AND VARIANCES Wakky Company produces widgets. In the table below, the company has begin the calculation of the standard cost to make one widget. Using the standard manufacturing overhead data provided, complete the table below to show the total manufacturing cost of one widget. The standards are to be computed based upon normal annual production of 70,000 widgets for the year, with factory overhead applied based on direct labor hours. At the beginning of the year, management made the following estimates related to overhead: Standard FOH Costs: For Normal Capacity   -   (estimated at the beginning of the year for a production level of 70,000 widgets): Estimated annual variable overhead costs = $808,500 Estimated annual fixed overhead costs   = $241,500 Total estimated annual overhead costs = $1,050,000 Total estimated annual direct labor hours (DLH) at 100% of normal capacity (70,000 widgets) = 105,000 Total DLHs Variable factory overhead rate per direct labor hour = per DLH Fixed factory overhead rate per direct labor hour = per DLH Predetermined factory overhead rate per DLH = per DLH 1.

Calculate the total manufacturing cost variance

Explanation / Answer

Given That :

Estimated annual variable overhead cost =808500

Estimated annual fixed overhead costs   =241,500   for 7000

Total estimated annual direct labor hours (DLH) at

100% of normal capacity (70,000 widgets) =105000

Standard cost for one widgets:

                                  Variable cost of one widgets = 808500/70000= 11.55

                                  Fixed cost for one widget= 241500/70000=         3.45

Then

Material cost for one widget = 3*5 = 15

Direct labor =1.5*12=18

Variable over head = 1.5*11.55 =17.325

Fixed over head= 1.5*3.45 =5.175

Standard cost for 1 widget = 15+18+17.325+5.175 = 55.5

Standard cost for 75,000 widgets

Material cost = 15*75000=1125000

Direct labor cost = 18 * 75000 =135000

Variable cost = 17.325 * 75000 = 1299375

Fixed cost = 5.175 * 75000 = 388125

Total cost for making 75,000 widgets = 1125000+135000+1299375+388125 =4162500

Actual Production cost for 75 000 widgets :

Material cost =230000 * 4.5 = 1035000

Direct labor cost = 111000 *13.25 =1470750

Variable cost = 850000

Fixed cost =241500

Then Actual ,Production Cost = 1035000+1470750+850000+241500 =3597250

The cost variance = 4162500-3597250 = 565250

Given That :

Estimated annual variable overhead cost =808500

Estimated annual fixed overhead costs   =241,500   for 7000

Total estimated annual direct labor hours (DLH) at

100% of normal capacity (70,000 widgets) =105000

Standard cost for one widgets:
