(Appendix 10A) Which of the following is true concerning labor variances that are not material in amount? a. They are closed to Cost of Goods Sold. b. They are prorated among Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold. c. They are prorated among Materials, Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold. d. They are reported on the balance sheet at the end of the year. e. All of these.
Sommers Company uses the following rule to determine whether materials usage variances should be investigated: A materials usage variance will be investigated anytime the amount exceeds the lesser of 12,000 or 10% of the standard cost. Reports for the past 5 weeks provided the following information: Required: 1. Using the rule provided, identify the cases that will be investigated. 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Suppose investigation reveals that the cause of an unfavorable materials usage variance is the use of lower-quality materials than are normally used. Who is responsible? What corrective action would likely be taken? 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Suppose investigation reveals that the cause of a significant unfavorable materials usage variance is attributable to a new approach to manufacturing that takes less labor time but causes more material waste. Examination of the labor efficiency variance reveals that it is favorable and larger than the unfavorable materials usage variance. Who is responsible? What action should be taken?
Refer to the information for Cinturon Corporation on the previous page. Required: 1. Break down the total variance for materials into a price variance and a usage variance using the columnar and formula approaches. 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Suppose the Boise plant manager investigates the materials variances and is told by the purchasing manager that a cheaper source of leather strips had been discovered and that this is the reason for the favorable materials price variance. Quite pleased, the purchasing manager suggests that the materials price standard be updated to reflect this new, less expensive source of leather strips. Should the plant manager update the materials price standard as suggested? Why or why not?
Recompute the variances from the second Acme Inc. exercise using $0.0725 as the standard cost of the material and $14 as the standard labor cost per hour. How has your explanation of the variances changed?
Performance Report for Variable Variances Potter Company provided the following information: Required: Prepare a performance report that shows the variances for each variable overhead item (inspection and power).
(Appendix 10A) Which of the following items describes practices surrounding the recording of variances? a. All inventories are typically carried at standard. b. Unfavorable variances appear as debits. c. Favorable variances appear as credits. d. Immaterial variances are typically closed to Cost of Goods Sold. e. All of these.

Using variance analysis and interpretation Last year, Endicott Corp. adopted a standard cost system. Labor standards were set on the basis of time studies and prevailing wage rates. Materials standards were determined from materials specifications and the prices then in effect. On June 30, the end of the current fiscal year, a partial trial balance revealed the following: Standards set at the beginning of the year have remained unchanged. All inventories are priced at standard cost. What conclusions can be drawn from each of the four variances shown in Endicotts trial balance?
Computing materials variances D-List Calendar Co. specializes in manufacturing calendars that depict obscure comedians. The company uses a standard cost system to control its costs.

Materials purchase price variance 3. Materials quantity variance 4. Net materials variance
Show transcribed image text 15.What activity variances would Adger report with respect to each of its expenses? (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.) [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Adger Corporation is a service company that measures its output based on the number of customers served. The company provided the following fixed and variable cost estimates that it uses for budgeting purposes and the actual results for May as shown below: When preparing its planning budget the company estimated that it would serve 30 customers per month; however, during May the company actually served 35 customers.
PART II — TRUE/FALSE Instructions: Designate whether each of the following statements is true or false by circling the T or F. TF 1.If actual costs are less than standard costs, the variance is favorable. TF 2.On an income statement prepared under a standard cost accounting system, cost of goods sold is stated at standard costs with variances disclosed separately. TF 3.An unfavorable labor quantity variance indicates the actual number of direct labor hours worked was greater than the number of direct labor hours that should have been worked for the output attained.
