Question

4 Problem 10-16 Comprehensive Variance Analysis [LO10-1, LO10-2, LO10-3] Highland Company produces a lightweight backpack that is popular with college students. Standard variable costs relating to a single backpack are given below 10 points Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost $8.00 per yard Direct materials Direct labor eBook per direct labor- $ 2 hour Variable manufacturing overhead Total standard cost per unit Print Overhead is applied to production on the basis of direct labor-hours. During March, 600 backpacks were manufactured and sold. Selected information relating to the month's production is given below Reterences Variable Materials Used s 15,360 s 13,965 Direct Manufacturing Labor $9,000 Overhead $1,800 $2,985 Total standard cost allowed* Actual costs incurred Materials price variance Materials quantity variance Labor rate variance Labor efficiency variance Variable overhead rate variance Variable overhead efficiency variance s 600 U For the month's production. The following additional information is available for March's production: Actual direct labor-hours Difference between standard and actual cost per backpack 900 produced during larch s 0.20 F Hint It may be heipful to complete a general model diagram for direct materials, direct labor, and variable overhead before attempting to answer any of the requirements 1 What is the standard cost of a single backpack? 2. What was the actual cost per backpack produced during March? 3 How many yards of material are required at standard per backpack 4 What was the materials price e varance for March d there were no beginning or ending inventonies of materials? 5 What is the standard direct labor rate per hour? 6.

Standard Yards Required for the backpacks

= Standard Cost / $ 8

= 15360 / 8

1920

yards

3. Standard Yards Required per bagpack

= 1920 / 600

3.2

yards

Standard Labor Hour Required

= Standard Variable Overhead / $2

= 1800 / 2

900

hours

Standard labor rate

= Standard Direct Labor cost / 900

= 9000 / 900

10

per hour

Standard Labor Hour Required per backpack

= 900 / 600

1.5

hour

Material Quantity Variance

= Standard Price ( Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity)

600

= 8 (Actual Quantity - 1920)

75

= Actual Quantity - 1920

Actual Quantity of Direct Material Used

1995

yards

Actual Price per yard

= Actual Material Cost / 1995

= 13965 / 1995

7

per yard

2.

Actual Direct Labor Hours

900

hours

Difference between Standard and Actual Cost per back pack

0.2

F

Total Standard Cost

= 15360 + 9000 + 1800

$          26,160

Total Actual Costs

= 13965 + Direct Labor Cost + 2985

= 16950 + Direct labor cost

Difference between Standard and Actual Cost per back pack

= [26160 - (16950 + Direct Labor Cost)] / 600

0.2

= (9210 - Direct Labor Cost) / 600

120

= 9210 - Direct Labor Cost

Direct Labor Cost

= 9210 - 120

Direct Labor Cost

$            9,090

Total Actual Cost

= 16950 + Direct labor cost

= 16950 + 9090

$          26,040

Total Actual Cost per bagpack

= 26040 / 600

$                  43
