Variance:
Variance is the difference between the actual cost and budgeted cost for particular level of activity. It is computed by deducting the budgeted cost from the actual cost of the production.
Direct Material Cost Variance:
The difference between the actual cost incurred on the direct material and the budgeted cost expected to be incurred is called the direct material cost variance. It can either calculated by deducting the budgeted cost from the actual cost or adding the direct material price variance and direct material quantity variance.
Direct Labor Cost Variance:
The variance between the actual labor cost incurred and the budgeted labor cost is termed as direct labor cost variance. It can be computed by deducting the budgeted labor cost from the actual cost. On the contrary, it can also be ascertained by adding the direct labor rate variance and direct labor efficiency variance.
Controllable Variance:
The overall variance which comprises of variable
Volume Variance:
The variance which arises due to difference in the budgeted level of activity and the actual level is called volume variance. The sole reason for this kind of variance is the variation in the level of activity.
1. Computation of direct materials cost variance with its price and quantity variances.
2. Computation of direct labor cost variance with its rate and efficiency variances.
3. Computation of overhead controllable and volume variances.

- Robinson Manufacturing discovered the following information in its accounting records: $519,800 in direct materials used, $223,500 in direct labor, and $775,115 in manufacturing overhead. The Work in Process Inventory account had an opening balance of $72,400 and a closing balance of $87,600. Calculate the company’s Cost of Goods Manufactured.arrow_forwardSanjay would like to organize HOS (a business entity) as either an S corporation or as a corporation (taxed as a C corporation) generating a 16 percent annual before-tax return on a $350,000 investment. Sanjay’s marginal tax rate is 24 percent and the corporate tax rate is 21 percent. Sanjay’s marginal tax rate on individual capital gains and dividends is 15 percent. HOS will pay out its after-tax earnings every year to either its members or its shareholders. If HOS is taxed as an S corporation, the business income allocation would qualify for the deduction for qualified business income (assume no limitations on the deduction). Assume Sanjay does not owe any additional Medicare tax or net investment income tax. Required 1. For each scenario, C corporation and S corporation, calculate the total tax (entity level and owner level). 2. For each scenario, C corporation and S corporation, calculate the effective tax rate.
