Explain in 20 to 40 words 8) MAKE A CHOICE !!!!! Do A or B-Do not do both. Review your material variances calculated in 2 above. If your material price variance is FAVORABLE, complete 7A here and SKIP 7B, if your material price variance is UNFAVORABLE, SKIP A here and complete 7B below. A. COMPLETE IF MPV is FAVORABLE or ZERO. Complete this requirement if your material price variance in 2 is favorable or zero. Otherwise, skip and move on to 7B. If you complete A here, DO NOT DO B below. Management wants to make a few changes to its operation for the next year. Assume Phoenix Company plans to produce and sell the same number of units they sold last year (connect-actual units). a. Management believes the lower priced material has contributed to the unfavorable material quantity variance. The purchasing department wants to know what price per pound of raw material they should pay to fully offset the unfavorable material quantity variance they saw last year. Calculate the price. Hint - Use MPV - (SP- AP)AO: Set material price variance to favorable (positive) amount equal to the quantity variance calculated in 2c. Use the SP from standard cost card in 1 and actual quantity of raw material and solve for AP, actual price). Management would like to set this as their standard raw material price per input for next year. Include the amount in NEXT YEAR's standard cost card below in the highlighted cell. Make sure you show your calculations for partial credit. Note - If your quantity variance is also favorable, please contact your instructor for guidance. Project 5: Page 8 of 11 b. The production supervisor is implementing some changes to production that are expected to improve the materials quantity variance. With these changes, the supervisor believes that their unfavorable quantity variance would have been only half (50%) what it was. HINT: Use MQV = (SQ-AQ)SP: Set MQV to 50% of the quantity variance from 20. Use the AQ and SP from 2c and solve for Actual Quantity to achieve the desired variance. This will be total quantity of raw material. Divide this quantity by the number of finished goods units produced/sold to express this as POUNDS PER UNIT (ONE UNIT) of finished goods"Management wants to use this as their new standard for next year. Include this in the standard cost card below for the highlighted square. Make sure you show your calculations for partial credit Note - If your quantity variance is favorable, please contact your instructor for guidance. B. COMPLETE IF MPV is UNFAVORABLE: Complete this requirement if your material price variance in 2 is unfavorable. If you completed A above, DO NOT COMPLETE B here. Management wants to make a few changes to its operation for the next year. Assume for all your calculations that Phoenix Company plans to produce and sell the same number of units they sold last year (connect-actual units). a. The unfavorable material price variance is the result of continually rising prices as set by Phoenix Company's suppliers. Management is it the midst of negotiations with one supplier for a committed price contract if they exclusively supply the company next year. Management would like to set this negotiated price such that last year's material price variance would be half (50%). Calculate the desired price. (Hint: Use MPV = (SP-AP)AQ. Set the MPV equal to 50% of the unfavorable price variance (negative) calculated in 2c (negative for unfavorable). Use the SP from the standard cost card in 1 and the actual quantity of raw material. Solve for AP, actual price). This AP will become next year's standard cost. Include the amount in NEXT YEARS's standard cost card below in the highlighted cell. Make sure you show your calculations for partial credit. Project 5: Page 9 of 11 b. The production supervisor is convinced that the favorable materials quantity variance from last year is because of the high quality of the raw material used for production Because of the new price contract, management is anticipating that quality may suffer and wants to anticipate this impact. Management believes that a 30% decrease to last year's material quantity variance would be acceptable. Calculate the new standard. HINT: Use MOV - (SO-AO)SP: Set MOV to 70% (30% reduced) of the material quantity variance (positive for favorable) from 20. Use the AQ and SP from 2c and solve for Actual Quantity to achieve the desired variance. This will be total quantity of raw material. Divide this quantity by the number of finished goods units produced/sold to express this as POUNDS PER UNIT (ONE UNIT) of finished goods". Management wants to use this as their new standard for next year. Include this in the standard cost card below for the highlighted square. Note - If your MPV and MOV are BOTH favorable or BOTH unfavorable, please contact your instructor for guidance. 8) In the past few years, Phoenix Company has made many changes to their factory production process and have also experienced significant employee turnover. Management believes that operations have been more stable in the most recent year and are representative of future operations. Because of this expected stability, management is proposing standards for direct labor be based on the most current results (Actual quantities and rates from in 3a and 3c). a) A 3% wage increase has been authorized for all direct labor employees. Add the 3% increase to the ACTUAL average labor rate from 3c. This will be the new standard labor rate. Include the amount in the highlighted square in the NEXT YEAR standard cost card. b) The company anticipates the standard direct labor hour will be 0.85 hours per finished good. this is slightly lower than their previous actual average (0.90) because management expects more efficiency given employee experience, etc. c) Overhead costs are expected to increase 2.5% due to inflation. Calculate the new variable overhead standard as 2.5% higher that their most current actual rate (AR calculated in 4s above) Include the amount in the highlighted square in the NEXT YEAR standard cost card. d) Calculate budgeted fixed overhead as 2.5% higher than the previous year's actual. (connect). You will use this amount in the budgeted income statement below. Project 5: Page 10 of 11 9) Next Year's cost card. Use your calculations from 7 and 8 to complete the cost card below. Calculating the Standard cost per Unit" (a) for NEXT YEAR's standard cost card (multiply quantity times cost). Make sure to use your calculations from above for direct materials quantity, direct materials cost of input, direct labor cost of input and variable overhead cost per input Phoenix Company Standard Cost Card - Next Year (2020) Qty per Cost per Unit Input lbs 0.85 hrs 0.85 hrs Std.

Project 5: Page 5 of 11 6) In Q6 of the connect assignment, Phoenix Company's performance report (requirement 1) indicated a variance in the sales revenue. a) Give one example of a situation that would result in a FAVORABLE revenue variance, Explain using 20 to 30 words b) Assuming a company DOES NOT change its sales price, give one example of a situation that would result in an UNFAVORABLE revenue variance. Explain using 20 to 30 words. 7) For this question, only consider the four variances (ONLY Variances for material and labor) (1) Materials Price Variance, (2) Material Quantity Variance, (3) Labor Rate Variance, and (4) Labor Efficiency Variance. Answer the questions relating to each situation below. Note: YOU MUST CALCULATE A DOLLAR VALUE to estimate the effect on the variance. a) Situation A: One of Phoenix Company's full-time employees took an extended sick leave amounting to 160 hours. A temporary employee was hired at $14.50 an hour as a replacement 1) Which of the 4 variances was impacted? ii) Would the situation impact the variance Favorable or Unfavorable? ii) Estimate of impact. Show your work for partial credit Project 5: Page 6 of 11 b) Situation B: Power outages occurred three times during the year in which all production was shut down for 2 hours the first time, 3 hours the second time, and 1 hour the third time. During these times, 4 workers remained on site, but no work was performed. 1) Which of the 4 variances would this situation impact? ii) Would the situation impact the variance Favorable or Unfavorable? iii) Estimate of impact. Show your work for partial credit. c) Situation C: An order of raw material was received damaged, presumably during shipping. The order contained enough raw material to produce 200 finished goods. Upon inspection, 8% of the raw material was deemed contaminated and not usable. 1) Which of the 4 variances would this situation impact? ii) Would the situation impact the variance Favorable or Unfavorable? iii) Estimate of impact. Show your work for partial credit. d) Situation D: The purchasing department was able to negotiate a S1,200 discount from the supplier for the damaged order from c) above. i) Which of the 4 variances would this situation impact? Project 5: Page 7 of 11 ii) Would the situation impact the variance Favorable or Unfavorable? iii) Estimate of impact. e) Using the information for C and D. do you think purchasing did well with its negotiation of the discount? Explain in 20 to 40 words 8) MAKE A CHOICE !!!!! Do A or B-Do not do both. Review your material variances calculated in 2 above. If your material price variance is FAVORABLE, complete 7A here and SKIP 7B, if your material price variance is UNFAVORABLE, SKIP A here and complete 7B below. A. COMPLETE IF MPV is FAVORABLE or ZERO. Complete this requirement if your material price variance in 2 is favorable or zero. Otherwise, skip and move on to 7B. If you complete A here, DO NOT DO B below. Management wants to make a few changes to its operation for the next year. Assume Phoenix Company plans to produce and sell the same number of units they sold last year (connect-actual units). a. Management believes the lower priced material has contributed to the unfavorable material quantity variance. The purchasing department wants to know what price per pound of raw material they should pay to fully offset the unfavorable material quantity variance they saw last year. Calculate the price. Hint - Use MPV - (SP- AP)AO: Set material price variance to favorable (positive) amount equal to the quantity variance calculated in 2c. Use the SP from standard cost card in 1 and actual quantity of raw material and solve for AP, actual price). Management would like to set this as their standard raw material price per input for next year. Include the amount in NEXT YEAR's standard cost card below in the highlighted cell. Make sure you show your calculations for partial credit. Note - If your quantity variance is also favorable, please contact your instructor for guidance. Project 5: Page 8 of 11 b. The production supervisor is implementing some changes to production that are expected to improve the materials quantity variance. With these changes, the supervisor believes that their unfavorable quantity variance would have been only half (50%) what it was. HINT: Use MQV = (SQ-AQ)SP: Set MQV to 50% of the quantity variance from 20. Use the AQ and SP from 2c and solve for Actual Quantity to achieve the desired variance. This will be total quantity of raw material. Divide this quantity by the number of finished goods units produced/sold to express this as POUNDS PER UNIT (ONE UNIT) of finished goods"Management wants to use this as their new standard for next year. Include this in the standard cost card below for the highlighted square. Make sure you show your calculations for partial credit Note - If your quantity variance is favorable, please contact your instructor for guidance. B. COMPLETE IF MPV is UNFAVORABLE: Complete this requirement if your material price variance in 2 is unfavorable. If you completed A above, DO NOT COMPLETE B here. Management wants to make a few changes to its operation for the next year. Assume for all your calculations that Phoenix Company plans to produce and sell the same number of units they sold last year (connect-actual units). a. The unfavorable material price variance is the result of continually rising prices as set by Phoenix Company's suppliers. Management is it the midst of negotiations with one supplier for a committed price contract if they exclusively supply the company next year. Management would like to set this negotiated price such that last year's material price variance would be half (50%). Calculate the desired price. (Hint: Use MPV = (SP-AP)AQ. Set the MPV equal to 50% of the unfavorable price variance (negative) calculated in 2c (negative for unfavorable). Use the SP from the standard cost card in 1 and the actual quantity of raw material. Solve for AP, actual price). This AP will become next year's standard cost. Include the amount in NEXT YEARS's standard cost card below in the highlighted cell. Make sure you show your calculations for partial credit. Project 5: Page 9 of 11 b. The production supervisor is convinced that the favorable materials quantity variance from last year is because of the high quality of the raw material used for production Because of the new price contract, management is anticipating that quality may suffer and wants to anticipate this impact. Management believes that a 30% decrease to last year's material quantity variance would be acceptable. Calculate the new standard. HINT: Use MOV - (SO-AO)SP: Set MOV to 70% (30% reduced) of the material quantity variance (positive for favorable) from 20. Use the AQ and SP from 2c and solve for Actual Quantity to achieve the desired variance. This will be total quantity of raw material. Divide this quantity by the number of finished goods units produced/sold to express this as POUNDS PER UNIT (ONE UNIT) of finished goods". Management wants to use this as their new standard for next year. Include this in the standard cost card below for the highlighted square. Note - If your MPV and MOV are BOTH favorable or BOTH unfavorable, please contact your instructor for guidance. 8) In the past few years, Phoenix Company has made many changes to their factory production process and have also experienced significant employee turnover. Management believes that operations have been more stable in the most recent year and are representative of future operations. Because of this expected stability, management is proposing standards for direct labor be based on the most current results (Actual quantities and rates from in 3a and 3c). a) A 3% wage increase has been authorized for all direct labor employees. Add the 3% increase to the ACTUAL average labor rate from 3c. This will be the new standard labor rate. Include the amount in the highlighted square in the NEXT YEAR standard cost card. b) The company anticipates the standard direct labor hour will be 0.85 hours per finished good. this is slightly lower than their previous actual average (0.90) because management expects more efficiency given employee experience, etc. c) Overhead costs are expected to increase 2.5% due to inflation. Calculate the new variable overhead standard as 2.5% higher that their most current actual rate (AR calculated in 4s above) Include the amount in the highlighted square in the NEXT YEAR standard cost card. d) Calculate budgeted fixed overhead as 2.5% higher than the previous year's actual. (connect). You will use this amount in the budgeted income statement below. Project 5: Page 10 of 11 9) Next Year's cost card. Use your calculations from 7 and 8 to complete the cost card below. Calculating the Standard cost per Unit" (a) for NEXT YEAR's standard cost card (multiply quantity times cost). Make sure to use your calculations from above for direct materials quantity, direct materials cost of input, direct labor cost of input and variable overhead cost per input Phoenix Company Standard Cost Card - Next Year (2020) Qty per Cost per Unit Input lbs 0.85 hrs 0.85 hrs Std. Cost per Unit Direct materials Direct labor Variable Overhead 10) Complete the partial budgeted income statement for Phoenix Company's NEXT year. Reminder Phoenix Company expects to produce and sell the same number of units they sold in the current year (ACTUAL provided on connect). They do not plan to increase their sales price.
