2. 1 Describe the types of standards and how they are established. 7-2

3. 1 Types of Standards Unrealistic standards that can be achieved only under perfect operating conditions (such as no idle time, no machine breakdowns, no materials spoilage) are called ideal standards or theoretical standards.

4. 1 Currently attainable standards, sometimes called normal standards,can beattained with reasonable effort. Standards set at this level allow for disruptions, such as material spoilage and machine breakdowns.

5. 2 Describe and illustrate how standards are used in budgeting. 7-5

6. 2 The standard cost per unit for direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead is computed as follows: Standard Cost per Unit = Standard Price × Standard Quantity

7. 2 Budget Performance Report The report that summarizes actual costs, standard cost, and the differences for the units produced is called a budget performance report.

8. 2 • A favorable cost variance occurs when the actual cost is less than the standard cost (at actual volumes). • An unfavorable cost variance occurs when the actual cost exceeds the standard cost (at actual volumes).

9. 2 Direct Materials Variance The total direct materials variance is separated into price and quantity variances.

10. 2 Direct Labor Variance The total direct labor variance is separated into rate and time variances.

11. 3 Compute and interpret direct materials and direct labor variances. 7-11

12. Total Unfavorable Materials Variance 3 Direct Materials Variances Actual Direct Materials Cost = Actual Price × Actual Quantity Actual Direct Materials Cost = $5.50 × (7,300 sq. yards.) Actual Direct Materials Cost = $40,150 Standard Direct Materials Cost = Standard × Standard Quantity Standard Direct Materials Cost = $5.00 × (7,300 sq. yards.) Standard Direct Materials Cost = $37,150 Actual costs ($40,150) – Standard costs ($37,500) = $2,650

13. 3 Direct Materials Price Variance Direct Materials Price Variance = (Actual Price – Standard Price) × Actual Quantity Direct Materials Price Variance = ($5.50 – $5.00) × 7,300 sq. yds. Direct Materials Price Variance = $3,650 Unfavorable Variance Western Rider paid $0.50 more per square yard of material than the standard.

14. 3 Direct Materials Quantity Variance Direct Materials Quantity Variance = (Actual Quantity – Standard Quantity) × Standard Price Direct Materials Quantity Variance = (7,300 sq. yds. – 7,500 sq. yds. × $5.00 Direct Materials Price Variance = ($1,000) Favorable Variance Western Rider used 200 less square yards of material than the standard.

16. Total Unfavorable Labor Variance 3 Direct Labor Variances Actual Direct Labor Cost = Actual Rate per Hour × Actual Time Actual Direct Labor Cost = $10.00 per hr. × 3,850 hrs. Actual Direct Labor Cost = $38,500 Standard Direct Labor Cost = Standard Rate per Hour × Standard Time Standard Direct Labor Cost = $9.00 per hr. × 4,000 hrs. Standard Direct Labor Cost = $36,000 Actual costs ($38,500) – Standard costs ($36,000) = $2,500

17. 3 Direct Labor Rate Variance Direct Labor Rate Variance = (Actual Rate per Hour – Standard Rate per Hour) × Actual Hours Direct Labor Rate Variance = ($10.00 – $9.00) × 3,850 hours Direct Labor Rate Variance = $3,850 Unfavorable Variance If the actual direct labor rate for the units produced is less than the standard direct labor rate, the variance is favorable.

18. 3 Direct Labor Time Variance Direct Labor Time Variance = (Actual Direct Labor Hours – Standard Direct Labor Hours) × Standard Rate per Hour Direct Labor Time Variance = (3,850 hours – 4,000 direct labor hours) × $9.00 Direct Labor Time Variance = ($1,350) Favorable Variance If the actual direct hours for the units produced exceeds the standard direct labor hours, the variance is unfavorable.

19. 3 Exhibit 5 Direct Labor Variance Relationships Standard cost: Actual cost: Actual hours × Actual rate 3,850 × $10 = $38,500 Actual hours × Standard rate 3,850 × $9 = $34,650 Standard hours × Standard rate 4,000 × $9 = $36,000 Direct labor rate variance Direct labor time variance $3,850 U ($1,350) F Total direct labor cost variance $38,500 – $36,000 = $2,500 U
