Explanation / Answer

Ans 1 Planned Actual Variance Patient Days 24000 30000 Pharmacy 100000 140000 40000 U Miscellaneous Supplies 56000 67500 11500 U Fixed overhead cost 708000 780000 72000 U ans 2 The unexplained variance is $72000 variance in fixed expenses. The possible reason for this variance is making wrong estimation of fixed expenses ans 3 Actual Spending Variance Flexible Activity varaince Planned Patient Days 30000 30000 24000 Pharmacy 140000 15000 U 125000 25000 U 100000 100000/24000*30000 Miscellaneous Supplies 67500 2500 F 70000 14000 U 56000 560000/24000*30000 Fixed overhead cost 780000 72000 U 708000 0 None 708000 Total 84500 U 39000 U ans 4 $84500 variance is due to change in rates $39000 U variance is due to change in volume ans 5 rate variance (84500/30000) 2.82 U per unit Volume variance (39000/6000) 6.5 U per unit
