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: Budgeted Actual Sales (7,000 pools) $ 235,000 $ 235,000 Variable expenses: Variable cost of goods sold* 78,540 96,420 Variable selling expenses 18,000 18,000 Total variable expenses 96,540 114,420 Contribution margin 138,460 120,580 Fixed expenses: Manufacturing overhead 54,000 54,000 Selling and administrative 69,000 69,000 Total fixed expenses 123,000 123,000 Net operating income $ 15,460 $ (2,420) *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 plants 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 Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Direct materials 3.4 pounds $ 2.40 per pound $ 8.16 Direct labor 0.3 hours $ 6.40 per hour 1.92 Variable manufacturing overhead 0.6 hours* $ 1.90 per hour 1.14 Total standard cost $ 11.22 *Based on machine-hours. During June the plant produced 7,000 pools and incurred the following costs: a. Purchased 28,800 pounds of materials at a cost of $2.85 per pound. b. Used 23,600 pounds of materials in production. (Finished goods and work in process inventories are insignificant and can be ignored.) c. Worked 2,700 direct labor-hours at a cost of $6.10 per hour. d. Incurred variable manufacturing overhead cost totaling $10,350 for the month. A total of 4,500 machine-hours was recorded. It is the companys 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. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).) b. Labor rate and efficiency variances. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).) c. 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 (i.e., zero variance).) 2. Summarize the variances that you computed in (1) above by showing the net overall favorable or unfavorable variance for the month. (Input all values as positive amounts. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).) 3. Pick out the two most significant variances that you computed in (1) above. (You may select more than one answer.
