Eric Williams is a cost accountant and business analyst for Diamond Design Company (DDC), which manufactures expensive brass doorknobs. DDC uses two direct-cost categories: direct materials and direct manufacturing labor. Williams feels that manufacturing overhead is most closely related to material usage. Therefore, DDC allocates manufacturing overhead to production based upon pounds of materials used. At the beginning of 2017, DDC budgeted annual production of 420,000 doorknobs and adopted the fol- lowing standards for each doorknob: Input 0.3 lb. @ $10/lb. 1.2 hours @$17/hour Cost/Doorknob Direct materials (brass) $ 3.00 Direct manufacturing labor Manufacturing overhead: 20.40 $5/lb. x 0.3 lb. $15/lb. x 0.3 Ib. Variable 1.50 Fixed 4.50 Standard cost per doorknob $29.40 Actual results for April 2017 were as follows: Production Direct materials purchased Direct materials used Direct manufacturing labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead 29,000 doorknobs 12,400 lb. at $11/lb. 8,500 lbs. 29,200 hours for $671,600 $ 65,100 $158,000

Susan Corporation started the year expecting to produce and sell 117,000 units of its super-insulating coffee mugs, but it ended the year having produced and sold even more than that-129,000 units. Needless to say, owners Eli and his sister Anna were thrilled to have exceeded sales goals for the year. By the end of the third quarter, results looked promising. They were even more excited to see the final year-end financial statements and share the great news with their crew. The actual results, along with the original master budget for the year, are as follows. Sales Variable costs: DM DL Variable-MOH Variable SG&A Contribution margin Fixed costs: Fixed-MOH Fixed SG&A Operating income Actual Income $2,560,650 389,064 621.264 268,320 122,550 1,159,452 442,728 436,500 $280,224 Flexible Budget Master Budget $2,357,550 351,000 561,600 210,600 111,150 1,123,200 421,200 409,000 $293,000 In addition to seeing total actual results, the owners would like a more thorough analysis of many of these…

verify whether variances favorable of unfavorable: budgeted cost at actual volue would be 25344 (21.12*1200) and total variance to be explained is 2536 (unfavorable 27880-25344). what is the amount of variance that is attributed to the diffence between the budgeted and actual wage rate per hour. what is the amount of variance that is attributed to the change in labor productivity? what is the amount of variance that can be attributed tothe diffence between budgeted and actual volume budget actual wage rate per hour 16 17 fixed hours 320 320 variable hours per relative value unit (RVU) 1 1.1 Relative Value unite (RVUs) 1000 1200 total labor hours 1320 1640 labor cost 21120 27880 cost per RVU 21.12 23.23
The journal entry to record the direct materials quantity variance may be recorded A. Only when direct materials are purchased B. When inventory is taken at the end of the year. C. Only when direct materials are issued to production: D. All of the choices are correct
3. Compute the direct labor variance, including its rate and efficiency variances. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting favorable, unfavorable, or no variance. Round "Rate per hour" answers to two decimal places.) The drop down options under "actual cost" "standard cost" and the middle box for the first row are: actual rate, standard rate The drop down options for the left bottom 3 rows are: total variable overhead cost variance, variable overhead efficiency variance, variable overhead spending variance, volume variance, direct material variance, Direct labor efficiency variance, direct labor rate variance, direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance. the drop down options for the right yellow 3 columns are: favorable, unfavorable, no variance please use the exact format as shown in photos. Thank you !

Which of the following is true of direct labor variances? a. The labor efficiency variance measures the difference between what was paid to direct laborers and what should have been paid. b. The labor rate variance measures the difference between the labor hours that were actually used and the labor hours that should have been used. c. The labor rate variance measures the difference between the labor hours that were originally budgeted and the labor hours that should have been used. d. The labor rate and labor efficiency variances will always add up to the total labor variance. e. The labor rate variance measures the difference between the labor hours that were actually used and the labor hours that were originally budgeted.
1. What raw materials cost would be included in the company’s planning budget for March? 2. What raw materials cost would be included in the company’s flexible budget for March? 3. What is the materials price variance for March? (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance.). Input all amounts as positive values.)
2.2 Use the information provided below to calculate the following manufacturing variances for March2022. Note: Each answer must state whether the variance is favourable or unfavourable2.2.1 Labour rate variance 2.2.2 Labour efficiency variance 2.2.3 Variable overheads efficiency variance Variable overheads expenditure variance INFORMATIONNevada Limited set a standard labour rate of R32 per hour and a standard variable overhead rate of R3.80 perlabour hour.Actual hours worked for March 2022 were 4 910 at a cost of R149 264. The actual variable overhead cost incurredwas R19 640. The standard allowance of labour hours for the output achieved was 5 000 hours.
