Assume that during the past month, Sanford produced 10,000 cartons of Liquid ACCENTⓇ highlighters. Liquid ACCENT® offers a translucent barrel and cap with a visible ink supply for see-through colour. The special fluorescent ink is fade- and water-resistant. Each carton contains 100 boxes of marker, and each box contains five markers. The markers come in boxes of one of five fluorescent colours-orange, blue, yellow, green, and pink-and in a five- colour set. Assume the following additional facts: The standard cost for one carton of 500 markers is as follows. Manufacturing Cost Elements Standard Quantity X Price = Cost

Transcribed Image Text:Assume that during the past month, Sanford produced 10,000 cartons of Liquid ACCENTⓇ
highlighters. Liquid ACCENT® offers a translucent barrel and cap with a visible ink supply
for see-through colour. The special fluorescent ink is fade- and water-resistant. Each carton
contains 100 boxes of marker, and each box contains five markers. The markers come in
boxes of one of five fluorescent colours-orange, blue, yellow, green, and pink-and in a five-
colour set.
Assume the following additional facts: The standard cost for one carton of 500
markers is as follows.

During the month, the following transactions occurred in manufacturing the 10,000 cartons of
highlighters.
1. Purchased 10,000 boxes of tips for $148,000 ($14.80 per 500 tips); purchased 10,200
boxes of translucent barrels and caps for $453,900 ($44,50 per 500 barrels and caps); and
purchased 9,900 containers of fluorescent ink for $328,185 ($33.15 per 100 ounces).
2. All materials purchased during the period were used to make markers during the period.
3. 2,300 direct labour hours were worked at a total labour cost of $20,240 (an average
hourly rate of $8.80).
4. Variable manufacturing overhead incurred was $34,600, and fixed overhead incurred was
$84,000.
The manufacturing overhead rate of $48.00 is based on a normal capacity of 2,600 labour
hours. The total budget at this capacity is $83,980 fixed and $40,820 variable.
Instructions
a) Compute the total variance and the variances for direct materials and direct labour
elements
b) Compute the total variance for manufacturing overhead
c) Explain and compare the results of Favourable and Unfavourable in points a and b
