During June, the Conchran Manufacturing Company's costing system reported several variances that the production manager was surprised to see. Most of the company's monthly variances are under $125, even though they may be either favorable or unfavorable. The following information is for the manufacture of garden gates, its only product. (1) Direct materials price variance, $800 unfavorable. (2) Direct materials efficiency variance, $1,800 favorable. (3) Direct manufacturing labor price variance, $4,000 favorable. (4) Direct manufacturing labor efficiency variance, $600 unfavorable. Provide the manager with some ideas as to what may have caused the price

Deems Company's budgeted fixed factory overhead cost is P50,000 per month plus a variable factory overhead rate of P4 per direct labor hour. The standard direct labor hours allowed for November production was 18,000. An analysis of the factory overhead indicates that in November, Deems had an unfavorable budget (controllable) variance of P1,000 and a favorable volume variance of P500. Deems uses a two-way analysis of overhead variance The applied factory overhead in November is: O P122,500 O P123,000 O P121.000 O P122,000

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] The director of cost management for Odessa Company uses a statistical control chart to help management determine when to investigate variances. The critical value is 1 standard deviation. The company incurred the following direct-labor efficiency variances during the first six months of the current year. January February March. April May June $ 250 F 800 U 700 U 908 U 1,050 U 1,200 U The standard direct-labor cost during each of these months was $19,000. The controller has estimated that the firm's monthly direct-labor variances have a standard deviation of $950. Required: 1-a. Draw a statistical control chart and plot the variance data given above. 1-b. Which variances will be investigated?
