Explanation of Solution

Variance:

Variance refers to the difference level in the actual cost incurred and standard cost. The total cost variance is subdivided into separate cost variances; this cost variance indicates that the amount of variance that is attributable to specific casual factors.

Compute the materials price variances.

Material price variance = Actual  quantity used ×(Standard priceActual price)=148,450lbs.×($4.20/lb.$4.00lb. (1))=148,450lbs.×$0.20/lb.=$29,690(Favorable)

Compute the materials quantity variances.

Material quantity variance = Standard price×[Standard quantity Actual Quantity]=$4.20/lb[149,940 lbs. (2)148,450 lbs.]=$6,258(Favorable)

Therefore, the materials price and quantity variances of Enterprise S are $29,690 and $6,258.

Working Notes:

Calculate the actual price per pound:

Actual price per pound=Direct material cost Pounds of direct materials used=$593,800148,450=$4.00/lbs.

(1)

Calculate the standard quantity allowed:

Standard quantity allowed =Batches produced ×(Standard quantity allowed per batch)=147×1,020=149,940

b.

To determine

Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances.

b.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

Compute the labor rate variances.

Labor rate variance = Actual hours ×(Standard hourly rate - Actual hourly rate)=2,200 hours ×($8.50/hour$8.00/hour (3))=2,200 hours ×$0.50/ hour=$1,100 (Favorable)

Compute the labor efficiency variances.

Labor efficiency variance = Standard hourly rate ×(Standard hours - Actual hours)= $8.50/hour×(2,058hours (4)2,200 hours)=$8.50/hour×142hours=$1,207 (Unfavorable)

Therefore, the labor rate and efficiency variances of Enterprise S are $1,100 and ($1,207).

Working Notes:

Calculate the actual rate per hour:

Actual rate per hour =Direct labor cost Hours worked by employees=$17,6002,200 hours=$ 8.00/ hour

(3)

Calculate the standard hours allowed:

Standard hours allowed =Batches produced ×(Standard hours allowed per batch)=147×14=2,058 hours

Explanation of Solution

Compute the manufacturing overhead spending variances.

ParticularsAmount in $Amount in $
Standard Overhead cost incurred:  
     Fixed2,800 
     Variable (5)1,323 
  4,263
Actual Overhead cost incurred:  
     Fixed2,450 
     Variable1,175 
  3,625
Overhead spending variance (favorable) 498

(Table 1)

Compute the manufacturing overhead volume variances.

ParticularsAmount
Overhead applied at standard cost ($29 × 147 batches) $ 4,263
Less: Standard overhead cost allowed$4,123
Volume variance (favorable) $ 140

(Table 2)

Therefore, the manufacturing overhead spending and volume variances of Enterprise S are $498 and $140.

Working note:

Calculate the standard variable overhead allowed:

Standard variable overhead allowed=(Variable overehead appplication rate) ×Batches produced=$9×147=$1,323

 Work in process inventory ( at Standard) (6)629,748 
 Materials quantity variance (favorable) 6,258
      Materials price variance (favorable) 29,690
      Direct materials inventory (Actual) 593,800
 (To record the cost of direct materials charged to  production)  

(Table 3)

  • Work in process inventory is an asset and there is an increase in the value of an asset. Hence, debit the work in process inventory by $629,748.
  • Materials quantity variance is an asset and there is a decrease in the value of an asset. Hence, credit the materials quantity variance by $6,258.
  • Materials price variance is an asset and there is a decrease in the value of an asset. Hence, credit the materials price variance by $26,690.
  • Direct materials inventory is an asset and there is a decrease in the value of an asset. Hence, credit the direct materials inventory by $593,800.

Working notes:

Calculate the work in process inventory for direct materials:

Work in process inventory for direct materials }=147 Actual Batches×(Standard quantity allowed per batch ×Standard price of direct materials )=147×(1,020×$4.20)=147×$4,284=$629,748

(Table 4)

  • Work in process inventory is an asset and there is an increase in the value of an asset. Hence, debit the work in process inventory by $17,493.
  • Labor efficiency variance is an asset and there is an increase in the value of an asset. Hence, debit the labor efficiency variance by $1,207.
  • Labor rate variance is an asset and there is a decrease in the value of an asset. Hence, credit the labor rate variance by $1,100.
  • Direct labor is an asset and there is a decrease in the value of an asset. Hence, credit the direct labor by $17,600.

Working notes:

Calculate the work in process inventory for direct labor cost:

Work in process inventory for direct labor cost }=147 Batches×(Standard hours allowed per batch ×Standard rate of direct labor )=147×(14×$8.50 per hour)=147×$119=$17,493
