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

Variance Industries, Ltd. creates problems for accounting students. At the end of the first quarter of 2021, you have been asked to prepare a variance analysis of the company's operations for the quarter recently ended. You have gathered the data below from the company's accounts and the static budget prepared in December 2020. Variable and fixed manufacturing overhead are allocated based on direct- labour dollars. Units manufactured and sold Sales revenue Variable costs Direct materials Direct labour Variable manufacturing overhead Total variable costs Contribution margin Fixed manufacturing overhead Operating income (loss) Actual results Static budget 10,000 12,000 $320,000 $50,000 125,000 29,000 204,000 116,000 73,000 43,000 $360,000 $60,000 120,000 24,000 204,000 156,000 72,000 84,000
