Managerial Accounting Tools For Business Decision Making 7th Edition By Paul – Test Bank

SOLUTIONS TO BRIEF EXERCISES

BRIEF EXERCISE 11-1

(a) Standards are stated as a per unit amount. Thus, the standards are materials $2.80 ($1,400,000 ÷ 500,000) and labor $3.40 ($1,700,000 ÷ 500,000).

(b) Budgets are stated as a total amount. Thus, the budgeted costs for the year are materials $1,400,000 and labor $1,700,000.

BRIEF EXERCISE 11-2

(a) Standard direct materials price per gallon = $2.60 ($2.30 + $.20 + $.10).
(b) Standard direct materials quantity per gallon = 4 pounds (3.6 + .4).
(c) Standard materials cost per gallon = $10.40 ($2.60 X 4).

BRIEF EXERCISE 11-3

(a) Standard direct labor rate per hour = $16.00 ($14.00 + $.80 + $1.20).
(b) Standard direct labor hours per gallon = 1.5 hours (1.1 + .25 + .15).
(c) Standard labor cost per gallon = $24.00 ($16.00 X 1.5).

BRIEF EXERCISE 11-4

Total materials variance = $1,192 U (3,200 X $5.06*) – (3,000** X $5.00).
Materials price variance = $192 U (3,200 X $5.06) – (3,200 X $5.00).
Materials quantity variance = $1,000 U (3,200 X $5.00) – (3,000 X $5.00).

BRIEF EXERCISE 11-5

Total labor variance = $1,220 U (2,150 X $10.80) – (2,000* X $11.00).
Labor price variance = $430 F (2,150 X $10.80) – (2,150 X $11.00).
Labor quantity variance = $1,650 U (2,150 X $11.00) – (2,000 X $11.00).

SOLUTIONS TO EXERCISES

EXERCISE 11-1

(a) Direct materials: (2,000 X 3) X $5 = $30,000
Direct labor: (2,000 X 1/2) X $16 = $16,000
Overhead: $16,000 X 70% = $11,200

(b) Direct materials: 3 X $5 = $15.00
Direct labor: 1/2 X $16 = 8.00
Overhead: $8.00 X 70% = 5.60
Standard cost: $28.60

(c) The advantages of standard costs which are carefully established and prudently used are:
1. Management planning is facilitated.
2. Greater economy is promoted by making employees more cost-conscious.
3. Setting selling prices is facilitated.
4. Management control is enhanced by having a basis for evaluation of cost control.
5. Variances are highlighted in management by exception.
6. Costing of inventories is simplified and clerical costs are reduced.
