Principles of Cost Accounting
- The management of Golding Company has determined that the cost to investigate a variance produced by its standard cost system ranges from 2,000 to 3,000. If a problem is discovered, the average benefit from taking corrective action usually outweighs the cost of investigation. Past experience from the investigation of variances has revealed that corrective action is rarely needed for deviations within 8% of the standard cost. Golding produces a single product, which has the following standards for materials and labor: Actual production for the past 3 months follows, with the associated actual usage and costs for materials and labor. There were no beginning or ending raw materials inventories. Required: 1. What upper and lower control limits would you use for materials variances? For labor variances? 2. Compute the materials and labor variances for April, May, and June. Identify those that would require investigation by comparing each variance to the amount of the limit computed in Requirement 1. Compute the actual percentage deviation from standard. Round all unit costs to four decimal places. Round variances to the nearest dollar. Round variance rates to three decimal places so that percentages will show to one decimal place. 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Let the horizontal axis be time and the vertical axis be variances measured as a percentage deviation from standard. Draw horizontal lines that identify upper and lower control limits. Plot the labor and material variances for April, May, and June. Prepare a separate graph for each type of variance. Explain how you would use these graphs (called control charts) to assist your analysis of variances.arrow_forwardRecompute the variances from the second Acme Inc. exercise using $0.0725 as the standard cost of the material and $14 as the standard labor cost per hour.

- Blaze Corporation allocates overhead on the basis of DLH and the standard amount per allocation base is 2 DLH per unit. For March, the company planned production of 10,000 units (80% of its production capacity of 12,500 units) and prepared the following budget. The company actually operated at 90% capacity (11,250 units) in March and incurred actual total overhead costs of $129,230. 80% Operating Levels Overhead Budget Production in units 10,000 Budgeted variable overhead Budgeted fixed overhead $ 58,000 $ 68,000 1. Compute the standard overhead rate. Hint. Standard allocation base at 80% capacity is 20,000 DLH, computed as 10,000 units × 2.00 DLH per unit. 2. Compute the total overhead variance. 3. Compute the overhead controllable variance. 4. Compute the overhead volume variance. Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Required 1 Required 2 Required 3 Required 4 Compute the standard overhead rate. Hint: Standard allocation base at 80% capacity is 20,000…arrow_forwardDuring the period, Shalom Company produced 8,000 units and applied overhead based on the direct labor hours. The standard cost card showed the following information: Standard Direct labor hours per unit Actual Direct labor hours 3 25,000 P1.90 P2.20 P48,000 P51,000 P55,000 Actual Fixed overhead cost P57,500 Determine the variances based on the information above. Indicate as favorable or unfavorable. Format should be: 8,000 F or 8,000 UF No need to indicate if the amount is positive or negative. Standard Fixed overhead per DLH Standard Variable overhead per DLH Budgeted variable overhead Actual Variable overhead cost Budgeted fixed overhead Amounts must be in whole numbers. Example: 88,000 or (88,000) Unit costs be in whole numbers. Example: 88 Format of percentages: 88% Words must be in capital letters. What is the fixed overhead volume variance?arrow_forwardUpon your review of Shalom Company's standard cost card. You found the following information: Standards: Material Labor Actual: Production Material Labor 5.0 feet per unit @ P4.00 per foot 3.0 hours per unit @ 35.00 per hour 2,800 units produced during the month 14,500 feet used; 15,100 feet purchased @ P3.70 per foot 8,150 direct labor hours @ P36.00 per hour Determine the variances based on the information above. Indicate as favorable or unfavorable. Format should be: 8,000 F or 8,000 UF No need to indicate if the amount is positive or negative. Amounts must be in whole numbers. Example: 88,000 or (88,000) Unit costs be in whole numbers. Example: 88 Format of percentages: 88% Words must be in capital letters. What is the labor efficiency variance?arrow_forward
