XYZ Company manufactures xyz implements During May the compa

XYZ Company manufactures xyz implements. During May, the company ACTUALLY produced only 300 units of output, but they had planned for 400 units. XYZ Company tracks four factory inputs: (1) direct materials, (2) direct labor, (3) variable factory overhead and (4) fixed factory overhead. Both variable and fixed factory overhead are applied using predetermined rates based on direct labor hours. For each of the following cost components, an examination of the records revealed the repective amounts:

Direct Materials:

Standard Cost per unit of materials: $3.20 per pound

Total standard cost allowed for the actual output achieved: $5,760

Direct materials quantity variance: $96 Unfavorable

Total actual cost of materials purchased and used: $5,673

Direct Labor:

Standard cost per unit of output: 2 direct labor hours at $7.00 per hour

Actual direct labor rate per hour: $7.25

Direct labor efficiency variance: $140.00 Unfavorable

Variable Factory Overhead:

Standard variable overhead cost per standard direct labor hour: $4.00 per direct labor hour

Total actual variable overhead cost: $2,250

Fixed Factory Overhead:

Budgeted fixed factory overhead: $4,800

Fixed factory overhead spending variance: $500 Favorable

Fixed factory overhead rate per standard direct labor hour: $6.00 per direct labor hour

Please, compute the following amounts and show computation/work (indicate the direction of any variance computed)

1. Standard quantity of direct material allowed per unit of output:

2. Actual unit cost of direct materials purchased and used:

3. Direct materials price variance: and (Unfavorable or Favorable)

4. Total actual cost of direct labor used:

5. Direct labor rate variance:  and (Unfavorable or Favorable)

6. Total standard quantity of direct labor allowed for the actual output achieved:

7. Variable factory overhead spending variance:  and (Unfavorable or Favorable)

8. Variable factory overhead efficiency variance;  and (Unfavorable or Favorable)

9. Denominator level in standard direct labor hours:

10. Fixed factory overhead volume variance:

Thank you

Solution

Solution 1:

Total standard cost allowed for the actual output achieved = $5,760

Standard cost per unit of materials = $3.20 per pound

Standard quantity of material for actual outpout = $5,760 / $3.20 = 1800 pound

Total actual output = 300 units

Standard quantity of direct material allowed per unit of output = 1800/300 = 6 pound per unit

Solution 2:

Direct material quantity variance = $96 U

(SQ - AQ) * SP = - $96

(1800 - AQ) * $3.20 = $96

AQ = 1830 pound

Total actual cost of material purchased and used = $5,673

Actual unit cost of direct materials purchased and used = $5,673 / 1830 = $3.10 per pound

Solution 3:

Direct material price variance = (SP - AP) * AQ = ($3.20 - $3.10) * 1830 = $183 F

Solution 4:

Standard hour of direct labor = 300*2 = 600 hours

Standard rate of direct labor = $7 per hour

Direct labor efficiency variance = $140 U

(SH - AH) * SR = - $140

(600 - AH) * $7 = -$140

AH = 620 hours

Actual rate of direct labor = $7.25 per hour

Total actual cost of direct labor used = 620 * $7.25 = $4,495

Solution 5:

Direct labor rate variance = (SR - AR) * AH = ($7 - $7.25) * 620 = $155 U

Solution 6:

Total standard quantity of direct labor allowed for the actual output achieved = 300*2 = 600 hours
