Flexible Budgeting and Variance Analysis
I Love My Chocolate Company makes dark chocolate and light chocolate. Both products require cocoa and sugar. The following planning information has been made available:
Standard Amount per Case
Light Chocolate
7 lbs.
12 lbs.
0.4 hr.
Cocoa
Sugar
Standard labor time
Actual production (cases)
Dark Chocolate
Light Chocolate
Planned production
5,600 cases
10,300 cases
Standard labor rate
$13.00 per hr.
$13.00 per hr.
I Love My Chocolate Company does not expect there to be any beginning or ending inventories of cocoa or sugar. At the end of the budget year, I Love My Chocolate Company had the following actual results:
Dark Chocolate
Light Chocolate
10,700
Actual Pounds Purchased and Used
128,500
166,500
Actual Labor Hours Used
1,450
4,390
Cocoa
Sugar
Dark Chocolate
10 lbs.
8 lbs.
0.3 hr.
5,300
Actual Price per Pound
$5.00
0.55
b.
Actual Labor Rate
$12.70 per hr.
13.30 per hr.
Dark chocolate
Light chocolate
Required:
1. Prepare the following variance analyses for both chocolates and the total, based on the actual results and production levels at the end of the budget year:
a. Direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total variance.
b. Direct labor rate variance, direct labor time variance, and total variance.
Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.
a. Direct materials price variance
Direct materials quantity variance
Total direct materials cost variance
Standard Price per Pound
$4.90
0.60
$
$
Direct labor rate variance
Direct labor time variance
Total direct labor cost variance
2. The variance analyses should be based on the
amounts at
volumes. The budget must flex with the volume changes. If the
case, then the budget used for performance evaluation should reflect the change in direct materials and direct labor that will be required for the
and price variances.
volume is different from the planned volume, as it was in this
production. In this way, spending from volume changes can be separated from efficiency
