The Chapter 9 Form worksheet is to be used to create your own worksheet version of the main example in the text.

Chapter 09: Applying Excel: Excel Worksheet (Part 1 of 2)

For example, in cell D21 enter the formula = D14.

Notes:

In the text, variances are always displayed as positive numbers. To accomplish this, you can use the ABS() function in Excel. For example, the formula in cell B25 would be =ABS(F21F22).

Cells C25 through C27, C34 through C36, and C43 through C45 already contain formulas to compute and display whether variances are Favorable or Unfavorable. Do not enter data or formulas into those cellsif you do, you will overwrite these formulas.

After entering formulas in all of the cells that contained question marks, verify that the amounts match the numbers in the example in the text.

Check your worksheet by changing the direct materials standard quantity in cell B6 to 2.9 pounds, the direct labor standard quantity in cell B7 to 0.6 hours, and the variable manufacturing overhead in cell B8 to 0.6 hours. The materials spending variance should now be $1,500 U, the labor spending variance should now be $3,720 F, and the variable overhead spending variance should now be $60 F. If you do not get these answers, find the errors in your worksheet and correct them.
