Headsound manufactures headphone cases. During September 2024, the company produced and sold 107,000 cases and recorded the following cost data: (Click the icon to view the cost data.) Read the requirements. Requirement 1. Compute the cost and efficiency variances for direct materials and direct labor. Begin with the cost variances. Select the required formulas, compute the cost variances for direct materials and direct labor, and identify whether each variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). (Abbreviations used: AC = actual cost; AQ = actual quantity; FOH = fixed overhead; SC = standard cost; SQ = standard quantity.) Formula Direct materials cost variance = Direct labor cost variance = VOH cost variance VOH efficiency variance Next compute the efficiency variances. Select the required formulas, compute the efficiency variances for direct materials and direct labor, and identify whether each variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). (Abbreviations used: AC = actual cost; AQ = actual quantity; FOH = fixed overhead; SC = standard cost; SQ = standard quantity.) Formula = = Variance Direct materials efficiency variance Direct labor efficiency variance Requirement 2. For manufacturing overhead, compute the variable overhead cost and efficiency variances and the fixed overhead cost and volume variances. Now compute the variable overhead cost and efficiency variances. Select the required formulas, compute the variable overhead cost and efficiency variances, and identify whether each variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). (Abbreviations used: AC = actual cost; AQ = actual quantity; FOH = fixed overhead; SC = standard cost; SQ = standard quantity; VOH = variable overhead.) Formula Variance = Variance Now compute the fixed overhead cost and volume variances. Select the required formulas, compute the fixed overhead cost and volume variances, and identify whether each variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). (Abbreviations used: AC = actual cost; AQ = actual quantity; FOH = fixed overhead; SC = standard cost; SQ = standard quantity.) Data table Standard Cost Information Actual Cost Information Direct Materials Direct Labor Variable Manufacturing Overhead Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Quantity Direct Materials Direct Labor Variable Manufacturing Overhead 0.02 hours 12 per hour Fixed Manufacturing Overhead ($31,040 for static budget volume of 97,000 units and 1,940 hours, or $16 per hour) Print 2 parts 0.02 hours Cost $0.15 per part 19.00 per hour (212,000 parts @ $0.20 per part) (1,640 hours @ $19.10 per hour) Done - $ 42,400 31,324 13,000 31,000 X Now compute the fixed overhead cost and volume variances. Select the required formulas, compute the fixed overhead cost and volume variances, and identify whether each variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). (Abbreviations used: AC = actual cost; AQ = actual quantity; FOH = fixed overhead; SC = standard cost; SQ = standard quantity.) FOH cost variance FOH volume variance = Formula = Variance Requirement 3. Headsound's management used better quality materials during September. Discuss the trade-off between the two direct material variances. Headsound's management knew that using higher quality materials would result in a(n) overall They hoped these materials would result in more efficient usage than "standard" materials. The result was an VOH cost variance VOH efficiency variance Now compute the fixed overhead cost and volume variances. Select the required formul actual cost; AQ = actual quantity; FOH = fixed overhead; SC = standard cost; SQ = stan Formula FOH cost variance FOH volume variance = = Requirement 3. Headsound's management used better quality materials during Septem Headsound's management knew that using higher quality materials would result in a(n) overall favorable direct material cost variance favorable direct material efficiency variance unfavorable direct material cost variance unfavorable direct material efficiency variance s, and identify whether each variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). (Abbreviations used: AC = variances. . They hoped these materials would result in more efficient usage than "standard" materials. The result was an
