Variance Analysis
In layman's terms, variance analysis is an analysis of a difference between planned and actual behavior. Variance analysis is mainly used by the companies to maintain a control over a business. After analyzing differences, companies find the reasons for the variance so that the necessary steps should be taken to correct that variance.
Standard Costing
The standard cost system is the expected cost per unit product manufactured and it helps in estimating the deviations and controlling them as well as fixing the selling price of the product. For example, it helps to plan the cost for the coming year on the various expenses.

4. Suppose the static budget volume is 15,000 players-this is the denominator volume. Compute the volume variance for fixed
overhead cost. (Round intermediate calculations to the nearest whole dollar amount. Indicate the effect of each variance by
selecting "F" for favourable, "U" for unfavourable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)
Volume variance
5. Suppose that the static budget volume is also the normal volume and that the budgeted variable overhead cost in the static budget
is $25,500, Given the standard cost card data in the question, calculate the under- or overapplied fixed overhead for August. (Do not
round intermediate calculations.)
Fixed overhead

Transcribed Image Text:Erie Company manufactures an MP3 player called the Jogging Mate. The company uses standards to control its costs. The labour and
variable overhead standards that have been set for one Jogging Mate MP3 player are as follows:
Direct labour
Variable overhead
Standard Hours
18 minutes
18 minutes
Direct labour cost
Standard Rate
per Hour
$9.00
$5.00
Budgeted fixed overhead was estimated to be $15,300 per month. Fixed overhead cost is applied using direct labour-hours. During
August, 4,550 hours of direct labour time was recorded in the manufacture of 16,000 units of the Jogging Mate. The direct labour cost
totalled $49,100 for the month. Actual variable overhead and fixed overhead costs were $17,290 and $25,600, respectively.
Standard Cost
$2.70
$ 1.50
Required:
1-a. What direct labour cost should have been incurred in the manufacture of the 16,000 units of the Jogging Mate? (Do not round
intermediate calculations.)
Variance
1-b. Calculate the total direct labor cost variance? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Indicate the effect of each variance by
selecting "F" for favourable, "U" for unfavourable, and "None" for no effect (ie, zero variance).)
