Part CAugust Variance Analysis
During September of the current year, the controller was asked to perform variance analyses for August. The January operating data provided the standard prices, rates, times, and quantities per case. There were 1,500 actual cases produced during August, which was 250 more cases than planned at the beginning of the month. Actual data for August were as follows:
Actual Direct Materials Price per Unit | Actual Direct Materials Quantity per Case | |||
Cream base | $0.016 | per oz. | 102 | ozs. |
Natural oils | $0.32 | per oz. | 31 | ozs. |
Bottle (8-oz.) | $0.42 | per bottle | 12.5 | bottles |
Actual Direct Labor Rate | Actual Direct Labor Time per Case | |
Mixing | $18.20 | 19.50 min. |
Filling | 14.00 | 5.60 min. |
Actual variable overhead | $305.00 | |
Normal volume | 1,600 cases |
The prices of the materials were different than standard due to fluctuations in market prices. The standard quantity of materials used per case was an ideal standard. The Mixing Department used a higher grade labor classification during the month, thus causing the actual labor rate to exceed standard. The Filling Department used a lower grade labor classification during the month, thus causing the actual labor rate to be less than standard.
Required:
Enter subtracted amounts with minus sign.
Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.
