What should the title be in Gap 1?
Using the following information, calculate the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances, and state if they are favourable or adverse.
Actual production was 1,500 units which were completed in 3,620 hours at a variable overhead cost of $11,000.
The budget was that each pie would take 2.5 hours to make and the variable overhead absorption rate would be $3 per hour.
Which of the following would help to explain a favourable direct labour efficiency variance?
(i) Employees were of a lower skill level than specified in the standard
(ii) Better quality material was easier to process
(iii) Suggestions for improved working methods were implemented during the period
Which of the following statements is correct?
The following information relates to labour costs for the past month:
Budget Labour rate $10 per hour
Production time 15,000 hours
Time per unit 3 hours
Production units 5,000 units
Actual Wages paid $176,000
Production 5,500 units
Total hours worked 14,000 hours
There was no idle time.
What were the labour rate and efficiency variances?
A manufacturing company operates a standard absorption costing system. Last month 25,000 production hours were budgeted and the budgeted fixed production overhead cost was $125,000. Last month the actual hours worked were 24,000 and the standard hours for actual production were 27,000.What was the fixed production overhead capacity variance for last month?
Which of the following statements are true?
(i)A favourable fixed overhead volume capacity variance occurs when actual hours of work are greater than budgeted hours of work
(ii)A labour force that produces5,000standard hours of work in 5,500 actual hours will give a favourable fixed overhead volume efficiency variance
A company uses process costing to value its output. The following was recorded for the period:
Input materials 2,000 units at $4.50 per unit
Conversion costs 13,340
Normal loss 5% of input valued at $3 per unit
Actual loss 150 units
There were no opening or closing inventories.What was the valuation of one unit of output to one decimal place?
Which of the following statements are true?(i) The fixed overhead volume capacity variance represents part of the over/under absorption of overheads(ii) A company works fewer hours than budgeted. This will result in an adverse fixed overhead volume capacity variance
