Ayala Corporation accumulates the following data relative to jobs started and finished during the month of June 2014. Costs and Production Data Actual Standard Raw materials unit cost $2.25 $2.10 Raw materials units used 10,600 10,000 Direct labor payroll $120,960 $120,000 Direct labor hours worked 14,400 15,000 Manufacturing overhead incurred $189,500 Manufacturing overhead applied $193,500 Machine hours expected to be used at normal capacity 42,500 Budgeted fixed overhead for June $55,250 Variable overhead rate per machine hour $3.00 Fixed overhead rate per machine hour $1.30 Overhead is applied on the basis of standard machine hours. Three hours of machine time are required for each direct labor hour. The jobs were sold for $400,000. Selling and administrative expenses were $40,000. Assume that the amount of raw materials purchased equaled the amount used. Instructions (a) Compute all of the variances for (1) direct materials and (2) direct labor. LQV $4,800 F (b) Compute the total overhead variance. (c) Prepare an income statement for management. (Ignore income taxes.)
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.
