The master budget is as follows: Product A budget data Direct materials Direct labor (DL) Variable overhead Fixed overhead Total budgeted cost Product A production data Units produced: Materials purchased: Materials used: Direct labor: (40,000 feet x $14.00 per foot) (60,000 DL hours x $10.00 per hour) Fixed overhead incurred: (60,000 DL hours x $8.00 per hour) The following actual information is available for the production of Product A for the period: $720,000 $2,360,000 Variable overhead incurred: 9,500 39,500 feet @ $13.80 per foot 39,500 feet 56,000 hours, costing $560,000 $470,000 $560,000 $720,000 $600,000 $480,000 Required: Calculate the dollar amount and label the following variances as "favorable" or "unfavorable": Direct materials price variance Direct materials quantity variance Direct labor efficiency variance
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.
