At the beginning of the year, Lopez Company had the following standard cost sheet for one of its chemical products: Lopez computes its overhead rates using practical volume, which is 80,000 units. The actual results for the year are as follows: (a) Units produced: 79,600; (b) Direct labor: 158,900 hours at 18.10; (c) FOH: 831,000; and (d) VOH: 112,400. Required: 1. Compute the variable overhead spending and efficiency variances. 2. Compute the fixed overhead spending and volume variances.
ThingOne Company has the following information available for the past year. They use machine hours to allocate overhead. What is the variable overhead efficiency variance?
Making journal entries Assume that during the month of April the production report of Algonquin Adhesives Inc. in E8-10 revealed the following information: Make journal entries to charge materials (use the materials purchase price variance) and labor to Work in Process. (Remember to retrieve the standard costs from E8-10 before solving this exercise.)
Cost and production data for Binghamton Beverages Inc. are presented as follows: Required: Calculate net variances for materials, labor, and factory overhead. Calculate specific materials and labor variances by department, using the diagram format in Figure 8-4. Comment on the possible causes for each of the variances that you computed. Make all journal entries to record production costs in Work in Process and Finished Goods. Determine the balance of ending Work in Process in each department. Assume that 4,000 units were sold at $40 each. Calculate the gross margin based on standard cost. Calculate the gross margin based on actual cost. Why does the gross margin at actual cost differ from the gross margin at standard cost. As the plant controller, you present the variance report in Item 1 above to Paul Crooke, the plant manager. After reading it, Paul states: “If we present this performance report to corporate with that large unfavorable labor variance in Blending, nobody in the plant will receive a bonus. Those standard hours of 5,500 are way too tight for this production process. Fifty-eight hundred hours would be more reasonable, and that would result in a favorable labor efficiency variance that would more than offset the unfavorable labor rate variance. Please redo the variance calculations using 5,800 hours as the standard.” You object, but Paul ends the conversation with, “That is an order.” What standards of ethical professional practice would be violated if you adhered to Paul’s order? How would you attempt to resolve this ethical conflict?
