Problem 10-21 Comprehensive Standard Cost Variances (LO2, LO3, LO4, LOS, LO6] Clarissa McWhirter, vice-president of Cyprus Company, was pleased to see a small variance on the income statement after the trouble the company had been having in controlling manufacturing costs. She noted that the $22,810 overall manufacturing variance reported last period was well below the 3% limit that had been set for variances. The company produces and sells a single product. The standard cost card for the product follows: 20 points Standard Cost Card-Per Unit Direct materials, 4 metres at $3.10 per metre eBook $12.40 18.75 References Direct labour, 1.5 direct labour-hours at $12.5 per direct labour-hour Variable overhead, 1.5 direct labour-hours at $2.1 per direct labour-hour 3.15 7.50 Fixed overhead, 1.5 direct labour-hours at $5 per direct labour-hour 41.80 Standard cost per unit The following additional information is available for the year just completed: a. The company manufactured 26,000 units of product during the year. b. A total of 103,200 metres of material was purchased during the year at a cost of $3.15 per metre. All of this material was used to manufacture the 26,000 units. There were no beginning or ending inventories for the year, c. The company worked 40,600 direct labour-hours during the year at a cost of $12.40 per hour. d. Overhead cost is applied to products on the basis of standard direct labour-hours. Data relating to manufacturing overhead costs follow: Denominator activity level (direct labour-hours) Budgeted fixed overhead costs (from the flexible budget) Actual fixed overhead costs Actual variable overhead costs $ $ $ 39,200 196,000 194,600 86,490 20 points Required: 1. Compute the direct materials price and quantity variances for the year. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).) eBook References Materials price variance Materials quantity variance 2. Compute the direct labour rate and efficiency variances for the year. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).) Labour rate variance Labour efficiency variance 20 points eBook References 3. For manufacturing overhead, compute the following: a. The variable overhead spending and efficiency variances for the year. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).) Variable overhead spending variance Variable overhead efficiency variance b. The fixed overhead budget and volume variances for the year. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).) points Fixed overhead budget variance Fixed overhead volume variance eBook References 4. Compute the total variance. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.) Total variance
