Mansbridge Moldings manufactures a plastic wagon at its MuskokaPlant. The standard cost for one wagon is as follows: Direct materials Standard Quantity or Hours 1.30 kilograms 0.80 hours Standard Price or Rate $4.00 per kilogram Direct labour $6.00 per hour Variable manufacturing overhead 0.40 machine-hours. $2.00 per machine-hour Total standard cost Standard Cost $ 5.20 4.80 0.80 $10.80 The plant has been experiencing problems for some time, as is shown by its June income statement when it made and sold 15,200 pools; the normal volume is 15,350 pools per month. Fixed costs are allocated using machine-hours.

Peter Mansbridge, the general manager of the MuskokaPlant, wants to get things under control. He needs information about the operations in June since the income statement signalled that the problem could be due to the variable cost of goods sold. He obtains the following information about the operations and costs in June: a. 30,700 kilograms of materials were purchased at a cost of $3.00 per kilogram. b. 24,200 kilograms of materials were used in production. (Finished goods and work-in-process inventories are insignificant and can be ignored.) c. 11,900 direct labour-hours were worked at a cost of $8 per hour. d. Variable manufacturing overhead cost totalling $17,790 for the month was incurred. A total of 5,930 machine hours was recorded. It is the company's policy to close all variances to cost of goods sold on a monthly basis. Required: 1. Compute the following variances for June: a. Direct materials price and quantity variances. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favourable, "U" for unfavourable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).) Material price variance Material quantity variance: b. Direct labour rate and efficiency variances. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favourable, "U" for unfavourable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).) Labour rate variance Labour efficiency variance c. Variable overhead spending and efficiency variances. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favourable, "U" for unfavourable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)
