Exercise 17-25 (Algo) Prorating Direct Materials Cost Variances (LO 17-1) The cost analyst for Sheffer Systems collected the following data concerning direct materials: 39,000 units Actual production Direct materials purchased (actual) Standard cost of materials purchased Standard direct materials costs per unit produced Standard price times actual amount of materials used $ 719,300 726,000 17 678,700 Assume that Sheffer Systems had no beginning finished goods or direct materials inventory and only produced one product. Sheffer sold 30,030 units during the period. Required: . Assume Sheffer writes off all variances to Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the entries Sheffer would make to record and close out the wariances. b. Assume Sheffer prorates all variances to the appropriate accounts. Prepare the entries Sheffer would make to record and close out the variances.
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.
