Question
Miller Toy Company manufactures a plastic swimming pool at its Westwood Plant. The standard cost for one pool is as follows:
Standard Quantity or
Hours
1.40 kilograms
Standard
Cost
$5.60
0.90 hours
0.30 machine-hours
Direct materials
Direct labour
Variable manufacturing overhead
Total standard cost
Sales (15,200 pools)
Less: Variable expenses:
Variable cost of goods sold*
Variable selling expenses
Total variable expenses
Contribution margin
Less: Fixed expenses:
Manufacturing overhead
Selling and administrative
The plant has been experiencing problems for some time, as is shown by its June income statement when it made and sold 15,200
pools; the normal volume is 15,350 pools per month. Fixed costs are allocated using machine-hours.
Total fixed expenses
Net income
Material price variance
Material quantity variance
Labour rate variance
Labour efficiency variance
Variable overhead spending variance
Variable overhead efficiency variance
*Contains direct materials, direct labour, and variable manufacturing overhead.
Janet Dunn, the general manager of the Westwood Plant, wants to get things under control. She needs information about the
operations in June since the income statement signalled that the problem could be due to the variable cost of goods sold. Dunn learns
the following about operations and costs in June:
a. 31,100 kilograms of materials were purchased at a cost of $3.90 per kilogram.
b. 24,600 kilograms of materials were used in production. (Finished goods and work-in-process inventories are insignificant and can
be ignored.)
c. 11,600 direct labour-hours were worked at a cost of $8 per hour.
d. Variable manufacturing overhead cost totalling $17,600 for the month was incurred. A total of 4,400 machine-hours was recorded.
It is the company's policy to close all variances to cost of goods sold on a monthly basis.
Required:
1. Compute the following variances for June:
Net variance

Budgeted
$ 456,000

a. Direct materials price and quantity variances. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favourable, "U" for
unfavourable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)
This will cause the Cost of Goods Sold to
210,300
245,700
132,000
85,120
217,120
$28,580
b. Direct labour rate and efficiency variances. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favourable, "U" for
unfavourable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)
? Materials price variance

c. Variable overhead spending and efficiency variances. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favourable, "U" for
unfavourable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)

$ 12,890
2-a. Summarize the variances you computed in part (1) by showing the net overall favourable or unfavourable variance for the month.
(Indicate the effect of variance by selecting "F" for favourable, "U" for unfavourable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)
? Labour efficiency variance
2-b. What impact did this figure have on the company's income statement?
Fixed overhead budget variance
Fixed overhead volume variance
6.30
0.60
$12.50
3. Pick out the two most significant variances you computed in part (1). (You may select more than one answer. Single click the box
with the question mark to produce a check mark for a correct answer and double click the box with the question mark to empty
the box for a wrong answer. Any boxes left with a question mark will be automatically graded as incorrect.)
thereby
net income by that amount.
4. Compute the fixed overhead cost variances. (Indicate the effect of variance by selecting "F" for favourable, "U" for unfavourable,
and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)
