Miller Toy Company manufactures a plastic swimming pool at its Westwood Plant. The standard cost for one pool is as follows: Required: 3.

Summarize the variances you computed In part (1) by showing the net overall Janet Dunn, the general manager of the Westwood Plant, wants to get things under favourable or unfavourable variance for the month.

Dunn learns the following about operations and costs in June: Net variance H a. 31,200 kilograms of materials were purchased at a cost of $4.00 per kilogram. b. 24,500 kilograms of materials were used In production. (Finished goods and work-in-process inventories are insignificant and can be ignored.) c. 11,800 direct labour-hours were worked at a cost of $7 per hour. d. Variable manufacturing overhead cost totalling $19,350 for the month was incurred. A total of 4,300 machine-hours was recorded. It is the company's policy to close all variances to cost of goods sold on a.monthly. basis. Page 1 of 3 Page 2 of 3 Page 3 of
