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 Sales (3,000 pools) $ 250,000 $ 250,000 Variable expenses: Variable cost of goods sold* 53,430 67,000 Variable selling expenses 26,000 26,000 Total variable expenses 79,430 93,000 Contribution margin 170,570 157,000 Fixed expenses: Manufacturing overhead 67,000 67,000 Selling and administrative 92,000 92,000 Total fixed expenses 159,000 159,000 Net operating income (loss) $ 11,570 $ (2,000) * 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 Quantity or Hours 4.2 pounds 0.5 hours 0.5 hours* Direct materials Direct labor Variable anufact overhead Total standard cost per unit *Based on machine-hours. Standard Price or Rate $ 2.80 per pound $ 8.30 per hour $ 3.80 per hour Standard Cost $ 11.76 4.15 1.90 $ 17.81 During June the plant produced 3,000 pools and incurred the following costs: a. Purchased 17,600 pounds of materials at a cost of $3.25 per pound. b. Used 12,400 pounds of materials in production. (Finished goods and work in process inventories are insignificant and can be ignored.) c. Worked 2,100 direct labor-hours at a cost of $8.00 per hour. d. Incurred variable manufacturing overhead cost totaling $7,560 for the month. A total of 1,800 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. (Hint: the amount of materials purchased is different from the amount of materials used in this problem - see the Chapter 9 slides if you don't recall why this matters for the materials variances.) b. Labor rate and efficiency variances. c. Variable overhead rate 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. 2.
