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 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:

tandard Quantity or Hours	Standard Price or Rate			Standard Cost
Direct materials	3.0 pounds	$	5.00 per pound	$15
Direct labor	0.8 hours	$	16.00 per hour	$12.80
Variable manufacturing overhead	0.4 hours*	$	3.00 per hour	$ 1.20

Total standard cost: $29.00

During June the plant produced 15,000 pools and incurred the following cost:

a. purchased 60,000 pounds of materials at a cost of $4.95 per pound.

b. Used 49,200 pounds of materials in production. (Finished goods and work in process inventories are insignificant and can be ignored.)

c. Worked 11,800 direct labor hours at a cost of $17.00 per hour.

d. Incurred variable manufacturing overhead cost totaling $18,290 for the month. A total of 5,900 machine hours was recorded.

Its the company policy to close all variances to cost of goods sold on a monthly basis.

Required:

1. Compute the following variances for June:
   1. Materials price and quantity variances
   2. Labor rate and efficiency variances
   3. Variable overhead rate and effciency variances

2. Summarize the variances you competed in problem 1 above by showing the net overall favorable or unfavorable variance for the month. What impact did this figure have on the companys income statement? Show computations.

3. Pick out the two most significant variances you computed in number one above. Expan to Ms. Dunn the possible causes of these variances.
