Miller Toy Company manufactures a plastic swimming pool at its Westwood Plant. The plant has been experiencing problems as shown by its June contribution format income statement below: Flexible Budget Actual 265,000 $ 265,000 Sales (7,000 pools) Variable expenses: Variable cost of goods sold" Variable selling expenses Total variable expenses Contribution margin Fixed expenses: Manufacturing overhead Selling and administrative Total fixed expenses Net operating income (loss) 79,240 19, eee 98,248 166,760 97,525 19, eee 116,525 148, 475 67,000 67,000 85,000 85,00 152, eee 152,080 14,760 $ (3,525) $ *Contains direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead, Janet Dunn, who has just been appointed general manager of the Westwood Plant, has been given instructions to "get things under control." Upon reviewing the plant's income statement Ms. Dunn has concluded that the major problem lies in the variable cost of goods sold. She has been provided with the following standard cost per swimming pool: Standard Standard Price Standard Quantity or Hours or Rate Cost Direct materials 3.5 pounds $ 2.10 per pound $ 7.35 Direct labor 0.4 hours $ 7.68 per hour 3.04 Variable manufacturing overhead 8.3 hours $ 3.10 per hour 0.93 Total standard cost per unit $ 11.32 Based on machine-hours. During June, the plant produced 7,000 pools and incurred the following costs: a. Purchased 29,500 pounds of materials at a cost of $2.55 per pound. b. Used 24,300 pounds of materials in production. (Finished goods and work in process inventories are insignificant and can be ignored.) c. Worked 3,400 direct labor-hours at a cost of $7.30 per hour. d. Incurred variable manufacturing overhead cost totaling $8,400 for the month. A total of 2.400 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. Materials price and quantity variances. b. Labor rate and efficiency variances c. Variable overhead rate and efficiency variances. Required: 1. Compute the following variances for June: a. Materials price and quantity variances. b. Labor rate and efficiency variances, c. Variable overhead rote and efficiency variances. 2. Summarize the variances that you computed in (1) above by showing the net overall favorable or unfavorable variance for the month. Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Required 1 Required 2 1a. Compute the following variances for June, materials price and quantity variances. 1b. Compute the following variances for June, labor rate and efficiency variances. 1c. Compute the following variances for June, variable overhead rate and efficiency variances. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (l.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.) Show less 12.
