Mari Fall 2009 Page 2 of 7 ACG 2071 Module 10: Using Variances from Standard Costs Cost Variance Analysis when a variance occurs, management wants to determine the factors causing it often involves analysis, evaluation, and explanation Direct Materials Variances Price variance = (Actual price - Standard Price) X Actual Quantity Quantity variance = (Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity) X Standard Price Total Direct Materials Variance = Quantity Variance + Price Variance Example: Material used in the production of Z Cleaner has a standard cost of $3 per lb. and standard use of 10,000 lbs. Actual records show 15,000 lbs were used with an actual cost of $2.50 per lb. Compute the direct material variances. Price Variance = (Actual Price - Standard Price) X Actual Quantity = ($2.50 - $3) X 15,000 lbs = -$0.50 X 15,000 lbs = -$7,500 favorable Quantity Variance = (Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity) X Standard Price = (15,000 lbs - 10,000 lbs) X $3.00 = 5,000 lbs x $3.00 = $15,000 Unfavorable Total direct materials variance = Quantity variance + Price variance = $15,000 + (-$7,500) Created by M. Mari Fall 2009 Page 3 of 7 ACG 2071 Module 10: Using Variances from Standard Costs = $7,500 Unfavorable Direct Labor Variances: Rate variance = (Actual Rate - Standard Rate) X Actual Hours Time variance = (Actual Hours - Standard Hours) X Standard Rate Total Direct Labor Variance = Time Variance + Rate Variance Example 4: Factory records show that each product produced requires 3 direct labor hours. Production during the period consisted of 10,000 units with 29,500 hours of labor used. Labor has a standard cost of $10 per hour and actual cost was $11 per hour. Compute the direct labor variances. Rate Variance = (Actual Rate - Standard Rate) X Actual hours = ($11 - $10) X 29,500 hours = $29,500 Unfavorable Time Variance = (Actual hrs - Standard hrs) X Standard rate = [29,500 hrs - ( 3 x 10,000)] x $10 = -500 hours x $10 = -$5,000 Favorable Total Direct labor variance = Rate variance + Time variance = $29,500 + (-$5,000) = $24,500 Unfavorable Created by M.
