Items 35 and 36 are based on the following:
Whats going on in that lab? asked Derek Real chief administrator for Cotton wood Hospital as he studied the prior
months report. Every month the lab teeters between a profit and a loss. Are we going to have to increase our lab fees
again? We cant. replied Luis Santos, the Controller. Were getting lots of complaints about the last increase,
particularly from the insurance companies and governmental health units. Theyre now paying only about 80% of what
we bill. Im beginning to think the problem is on the cost side.
To determine if lab cost are in line with other hospitals, Mr. Real has asked you to evaluate the costs for the past month.
Mr. Santos has provided you with the following information:
1. Two basic types of test are performed in the lab smears and blood test. During the past month 2,700 smears
and 900 blood tests were performed in the lab.
2. Small glass plates are used in both types of test. During the past month, the hospital purchased 16,000 plates
at a cost of P38,400. This cost is net of a 4% quantity discount. A total of 2,000 of these plates were still on
hand unused at the end of the month; there were no plates on hand at the beginning of the month.
3. During past month, 1,800 hours of labor time were used in performing smears and blood test. The cost of this
labor time was P18,450.
4. Variable overhead cost last month in the lab for utilities and supplies totaled P11,700.
Cottonwood Hospital has never used standard costs. By searching industry, literature, however, you have determined
the following nationwide averages for hospital labs.
Plates: Three plates are required per lab test. These plates cost P2.50 each and are disposed of after the test is
completed.
Labor: Each smear should require 0.3 hours to complete, and each blood test should require 0.6 hours to complete.
The average cost of this lab time is P12 per hour.
Overhead: Overhead cost is based on direct labor-hours. The average rate of variable overhead is P6 per hour.
Mr. Real would like a complete analysis of the cost of plates, labor and variable overhead in the lab for the last month so
that he can determine if costs in the lab are indeed out of line.
35. The materials price variance for the plates purchased last month, and the materials quantity variance for the
plates used last month are: C.
a. P11,400 Unfavorable, P6,000 Unfavorable
c. P1,600 Favorable; P8,000 Unfavorable
b. P1,600 Favorable, P8,000 Favorable
d. P1,600 Unfavorable; P8,000 Unfavorable
36. the labor rate variance and labor efficiency variance are D.
a. P2,250 Unfavorable; P5,400 Favorable
c. P2,250 Favorable; P5,400 Favorable
b. P3,150 Unfavorable; P5,400 Unfavorable
d. P3,150 Favorable; P5,400 Unfavorable

37. Tomas Company manufactures last-bonding glue in its Cagayan plant. The company normally produces and
sells 40,000 gallons of the glue each month. This glue which is known as MJ-7 is used in the wood industry in
the manufacture of plywood. The selling price of MJ-7 is P35 per gallon, variable expenses are P2 1 per gallon,
fixed manufacturing overhead costs in the plant total P230,000 per month, and the fixed selling cost total
P310,000 per month.
Strikes in the mills that purchase the bulk of the Mj-7 glue have caused Tomas Companys sales to temporarily drop to
only 11,000 gallons per month. Tomas Companys management estimates that the strikes will last for about two months,
after which sales of MJ-7 should return to normal. Due to the current low level of sales, however, Tomas Companys
management is thinking about closing down the Cagayan plant during the two months that the strikes are on.
If Tomas Company does close down the Cagayan plant, it is estimated that fixed manufacturing overhead costs can be
reduced to P170,000 per month and that fixed selling costs can be reduced by 10%. Start-up costs at the end of the
shutdown period would total P14,000 since Tomas Company uses JIT production methods, no inventories are on hand.
At what level of sales in (gallons) for two-month period would Tomas Company be indifferent between closing the plant
or keeping it open? C.
a. 13,000
b. 6,000
