Chapter 10, Problem 15P
PROBLEM 10-15 Comprehensive
Miller Toy Company manufactures a plastic swimming pool at its Westwood Plant. The plant has been experiencing problems as shown by its June contribution format income statement below:
Flexible Budget
Actual
‘Contains direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing
Janet Dunn, who has just been appointed general manager of the Westwood Plant, has been given instructions to “get things under control? Upon reviewing the plant’s income statement, Ms. Dunn has concluded that the major problem lies in the variable cost of goods sold. She has been provided with the following
| Standard Quantity or Hours | Standard Price or Rate | Standard Cost | |
| Direct materials | 3.0 pounds |
$5.00 per pound | $15.00 |
| Direct labor | 0.8 hours |
$16.00 per hour | 12.80 |
| Variable manufacturing overhead | 0.4 hours' |
$3.00 per hour | 1.20 |
| Total standard cost per unit | $29.00 |
'Based on machine-hours.
During June the plant produced 15:000 pools and incurred the following costs:
- Purchased 60:000 pounds of materials at a cost of $4.95 per pound.
- Used 49,200 pounds of materials in production. (Finished goods and work in process inventories are insignificant and can be ignored.)
- Worked 11,800 direct labor-hours at a cost of SI7.00 per hour.
- Incurred variable
manufacturing overhead cost totaling S18,290 for the month. A total of 5,900 machine-hours was recorded. It is the company’s policy to close all variances to cost of goods sold on a monthly basis.
Required:
- Compute the following variances for June: a Materials price and quantitv variances.
- Labor rate and efficiency variances.
- Variable overhead rate and efficiency variances.
- Summarize the variances that you computed in (1) above by showing the net overall fas orable or unfavorable variance for the month. What impact did this figure have on the company’s income statement9 Show computations.
- Pick out the two most significant variances that you computed in (1) above. Explain to Ms. Dunn possible causes of these variances.

According to the standards that have been set for the seat covers, the factory should work 1,040 hours each month to produce 2,080 sets of covers. The standard costs associated with this level of production are: Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead (based on direct labor-hours) Direct materials (5,000 yards) Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead During August, the factory worked only 600 direct labor-hours and produced 1,800 sets of covers.

- Integrative Exercise Cost System Choice, Budgeting, Variance Analysis, Product Costing, and Data Analytics for Dawson Dental Products Budgeting and Variance Analysis Using Only a Single Unit-Level Driver Lawson Dental Products produces two different dental instruments in its St. Louis plant: crown crimping pliers and curved crown scissors. Amy Bunker, production manager, was upset with the latest performance report which indicated that she was $110,000 over the manufacturing budget. Given the efforts that she and her workers had made, she was confident that they had met or beat the budget. Not only was she upset, but she was also genuinely puzzled by the results. Of the four major manufacturing inputs in the manufacturing cost budget (direct materials, direct labor, power, and setups), only the direct materials input was not over budget. The actual costs for these four inputs follow: Line Item Description Amount Direct materials $100,000 Direct labor 320,000 Power 135,000 Setups…arrow_forwardRefer to Exercise 8.27. At the end of the year, Meliore, Inc., actually produced 310,000 units of the standard model and 115,000 of the deluxe model. The actual overhead costs incurred were: Required: Prepare a performance report for the period. In an attempt to improve budgeting, the controller for Meliore, Inc., has developed a flexible budget for overhead costs. Meliore, Inc., makes two types of products, the standard model and the deluxe model. Meliore expects to produce 300,000 units of the standard model and 120,000 units of the deluxe model during the coming year. The standard model requires 0.05 direct labor hour per unit, and the deluxe model requires 0.08. The controller has developed the following cost formulas for each of the four overhead items: Required: 1. Prepare an overhead budget for the expected activity level for the coming year. 2. Prepare an overhead budget that reflects production that is 10 percent higher than expected (for both products) and a budget for production that is 20 percent lower than expected.arrow_forward(Appendix) Overhead variances—four variance Mobile Manufacturing Inc. manufactures a small electric motor that is a replacement part for the more popular gas furnaces. The standard cost card shows the product requirements as follows: Factory overhead rates are based on normal 100% capacity and the following flexible budgets: The company produced 3,500 units, using 18,375 direct labor hours and incurring the following overhead costs: Required: Calculate the factory overhead: variable-spending, variable-efficiency, fixed-spending, and production-volume variances. Does the net variance represent under- or overapplied factory overhead?arrow_forward
