Rudd Clothiers is a small company that manufactures tall-men's suits. The company has used a standard cost accounting system. In May 2017, 11,250 suits were produced. The following standard and actual cost data applied to the month of May when normal capacity was 14,000 direct labor hours. All materials purchased were used.
Cost Element Standard (per unit) Actual
Direct materials 8 yards at $4.40 per yard $375,575 for 90,500 yards
($4.15 per yard)
Direct labor 1.2 hours at $13.40 per hour $200,925 for 14,250 hours
($14.10 per hour)
Overhead 1.2 hours at $6.10 per hour $49,000 fixed overhead $37,000 variable
overhead (fixed $3.50; variable $2.60)
Overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor hours. At normal capacity, budgeted fixed overhead costs were $49,000, and budgeted variable overhead was $36,400
Compute the total, price, and quantity variances for (1) materials and (2) labor. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

1. The total, price, and quantity variances for materials will be:

Actual Production = 11250

Standard Quantity of Direct Material Required per unit = 8

Standard Quantity of Direct Material required (SQ) = 11250*l × 8 = 90000

Standard Price per Yard (SP) = 4.4

Actual Direct Material (AQ) = 90500

Actual Price per Pound (AP) = 4.15

Total Material Variance:

= (SP × SQ) - (AP × AQ)

= (4.40 × 90000) - (4.15 × 90500)

= 396000 - 375575

= 20425

Direct Material Price Variance:

= AQ × (SP - AP)

= 90500 × (4.40 - 4.15)

= 90500 × 0.25

= 22625 Favourable

Direct materials quantity variance:

= SP × (SQ - AQ)

= 4.40 × (90000 - 90500)

= 4.40 × -500

= -2200 Unfavourable

2. The total, price, and quantity variances for labor will be:

Actual Production = 11250

Standard Hours Required per unit = 1.2

Standard Hours required (SH) = 11250 × 1.20 = 13500

Standard Rate per Hour (SR) = 13.4

Actual Hours required (AH) = 14250

Actual Rate per Hour (AR) = 14.1

Total Labour Variance:

= (SR × SH) - (AR × AH)

= (13.40 × 13500) - (14.10 × 14250)

= 180900 - 200925

= -20025 Unfavourable

Dircet Labour RateVariance:

= AH × (SR - AR)

= 14250 × (13.40 - 14.10)

= 14250 × -0.7

= -9975 Unfavourable

Direct Labour efficiency variance:

= SR × (SH - AH)

= 13.40 × (13500 - 14250)

= 13.40 × -750

= -10050 Unfavourable
