The standard quantity of materials used per case was an ideal standard. The Mixing Department used a higher grade labor classification during the month, thus causing the actual labor rate to exceed standard. The Filling Department used a lower grade labor classification during the month, thus causing the actual labor rate to be less than standard. Required: Enter subtracted amounts with minus sign. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number. 10.  Determine the direct materials price and quantity variances for the three materials. Enter the costs in dollars and cents (carried to three decimal places when required).

Part C—August Variance Analysis

During September of the current year, the controller was asked to perform variance analyses for August. The January operating data provided the standard prices, rates, times, and quantities per case. There were 1,500 actual cases produced during August, which was 250 more cases than planned at the beginning of the month. Actual data for August were as follows:

  Actual Direct Materials
Price per Unit
Actual Direct Materials
Quantity per Case
Cream base $0.016 per oz. 102 ozs.
Natural oils $0.32 per oz. 31 ozs.
Bottle (8-oz.) $0.42 per bottle 12.5 bottles

 

  Actual Direct Labor
Rate
Actual Direct Labor
Time per Case
Mixing $18.20 19.50 min.
Filling   14.00   5.60 min.
 
Actual variable overhead $305.00  
Normal volume 1,600 cases  

 

 

The prices of the materials were different than standard due to fluctuations in market prices. The standard quantity of materials used per case was an ideal standard. The Mixing Department used a higher grade labor classification during the month, thus causing the actual labor rate to exceed standard. The Filling Department used a lower grade labor classification during the month, thus causing the actual labor rate to be less than standard.

Required:

Enter subtracted amounts with minus sign.

Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.

10.  Determine the direct materials price and quantity variances for the three materials. Enter the costs in dollars and cents (carried to three decimal places when required).
