Explanation / Answer

Solution 1:

Standard Price of Clay = $1.80 per pound

Actual Price of Clay = $438,940/ 258200 = $1.70 per pound

Standard Qty of Clay = 145,000 units*1.7= 246,500 pounds

Actual Qty of Clay consumed = 258,200 pounds

Material Price Variance = (SP – AP) * AQ = (1.80 – 1.70) * 258200 = $25,820 (F)

Material Qty Variance = (SQ – AQ) * SP = (246500-258200)*1.8 = $21,060 (U)

Material Spending Variance = $25,820 F + (21,060 U) = $4,760 F

Solution 2:

Standard Rate of Labor= $10 per hour

Actual Rate of Labor =2,508,000/190,000 = $13.2 per hour

Standard Hours = 145000 units * 1.70 = 246,500 hours

Actual Hours= 190000 hours

Labor Rate Variance = (SR – AR) * AH = (10 – 13.20) * 190,000 = $608,000 (U)

Labor efficiency Variance = (SH– AH) * SR = (246500-190000)*10 = $565,000 (F)

Labor Spending Variance = $608000 U + $565000 F = $43,000 U

Solution 3:

Standard Rate of Variable Overhead = $1.10 per hour

Actual Price of Labor =280,000/190,000 = $1.47 per hour

Standard Hours = 145000 units * 1.70 = 246,500 hours

Actual Hours= 190000 hours

Variable Overhead Rate Variance = (SR – AR) * AH = (1.10 – 1.47) * 190,000 = $70,300 (U)

Variable overhead efficiency Variance = (SH– AH) * SR = (246500-190000)*1.10 = $62,150 (F)

Variable overhead Spending variance = $70,300 U + $62,150 F = $8,150 U
