Problem 10-15 Comprehensive Variance Analysis [L010-1, LO10-2, LO10-3) Miller Toy Company manufactures a plastic swimming pool at its Westwood Plant. The plant has been experiencing problems as shown by its June contribution format income statement below Flexible Actual Budget $ 310,000 $310,000 Sales (7,000 pools) Variable expenses: Variable cost of goods 110,810 131,685 25,000 25,000 135, 810 156, 685 sold* Variable selling expenses Total variable expenses Contribution margin Fixed expenses: 174, 190 153, 315 66, 000 66,000 91,000 91,000 157,000157,000 17,190 $ (3,685) Manufacturing overhead Selling and administrative Total fixed expenses Net operating income (loss) $ Contains direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead Janet Dunn, who has just been appointed general manager of the Westwood Plant, has been given instructions to "get things under control." Upon reviewing the plant's income statement, Ms. Dunn has concluded that the major problem lies in the variable cost of goods sold. She has been provided with the following standard cost per swimming pool

Explanation / Answer

Answer 1-a. Direct Material Price Variance = (SR - AR) X AQ Direct Material Price Variance = ($2.70 - $3.15) X 33,700 Pounds Direct Material Price Variance = $15,165 (U) Direct Material Quantity Variance = (SQ - AQ) X SR Direct Material Quantity Variance = (28,700 pounds - 28,500 pounds) X $2.70 Direct Material Quantity Variance = $540 (F) Answer 1-b. Labor Efficiency Variance = (SH - AH) X SR Labor Efficiency Variance = (2,800 hrs - 3,400 hrs) X $8.20 Labor Efficiency Variance = $4,920 (U) Direct Labor Rate Variance = (SR - AR) X AH Direct Labor Rate Variance = ($8.20 - $7.90) X 3,400 hrs Direct Labor Rate Variance = $1,020 (F) Answer 1-c. Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = (SH - AH) X SR Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = (2,800 - 3,100) X $3.70 Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = $1,110 (U) Variable Overhead Rate Variance = (SR - AR) X AH Variable Overhead Rate Variance = ($3.70 - $4.10) X 3,100 hrs Variable Overhead Rate Variance = $1,240 (U) Answer 2. Direct Material Price Variance             15,165 (U) Direct Material Quantity Variance                   540 (F) Direct Labor Rate Variance               1,020 (F) Direct Labor Efficiency Variance               4,920 (U) Varaiable Overhead Rate Variance               1,240 (U) Varaiable Overhead Efficiency Variance               1,110 (U) Total Variance             20,875 (U)
