Material Variances
Local Company manufactures sofa's with vinyl
covering. The standard material cost for the vinyl for
one sofa is $27.00 based on twelve square feet of vinyl
at a cost of $2.25 per square foot. A production run of
1,000 sofas resulted in usage of 12,600 square feet of
vinyl at a cost of $2.50 per square foot, a total cost of
$31,500. The price variance resulting from the above
production run was:
a. $1,200 unfavorable b. $3,150 unfavorable
c. $1,800 favorable d. $3,150 favorable

FLEXIBLE BUDGET FOR OVERHEAD-3
UNCC Corp. operates its production department under a flexible budget
with monthly allowances at 20% intervals. Capacity is based on direct
labor hours with 1,000 direct labor hours representing 100% normal
capacity. Exhibit shows budget allowance at the 80% & 100% levels.

Flexible Budget for Overhead-5
• Note on Slide 7 that we budgeted fixed
overhead to be $6,400. When the period was
over, we found that we spent $6,500 for fixed
overhead items. That is a spending problem.
• We produced enough product to justify using
900 hours of labor, but we actually used 910
hours of labor. That is an efficiency problem.
This involves a waste of payroll dollars, but it
also involves a waste of support costs (the
support costs for the extra 10 hours of work
that was wasted.) Etc.
29
Flexible Budget for Overhead-6
• Our total overhead for 900 good hours of work
should be:
(900 good hours X ($6.40 + $1.40))
That would be $7,020.
• We actually spent $8,000 for overhead
($1,500 + $6,500)
• Our overall budget variance is $980.
• What are the specific reasons for this variance.
• One reason: we planned on operating 1,000
hours, but only had 900 standard hours of
work. (Too few persons came to the dance)

In practice, the
production-volume
variance is usually
called simply the
volume variance.
Other Variances
The fixed-overhead flexible budget
variance (also called the fixed-overhead
spending variance or simply the budget
variance) is the difference between actual
fixed overhead and budgeted fixed
overhead.
Fixed Overhead Variances
Universal Co. uses a standard cost system and prepared the
following budget at normal capacity for January:
Direct-labor hours (denominator hours) 24,000
Variable factory overhead $ 48,000
Fixed factory overhead $108,000
Total factory overhead per direct-labor hour $ 6.50
Actual data for January were as follows:
Direct-labor hours worked 22,000
Total fixed factory overhead $105,000
Total variable overhead $ 45,000
Standard direct-labor hrs
allowed for capacity attained 20,000

Raleigh Corp. has developed the following
flexible-budget formulas for annual indirect-labor
cost:
Total annual indirect labor cost = $4,800 + $0.50
per machine hour.
Operating budgets for the current month are
based upon 19,200 hours of planned machine
time.
Indirect-labor costs included in this monthly
planning budget are:
a. $14,800 b. $10,000
c. $14,400 d. $10,400 53
