    Faring Company uses standard costing to value inventory and control costs. During August 2014, materials were purchased at a lower price than standard, resulting in a favorable price variance of P4,000. However, more materials were used than standard, resulting in an unfavorable quantity variance of P18,000. Direct labor hours worked exceeded standard hours, resulting in an unfavorable efficiency variance of P4,800 but the actual rate was lower than standard, yielding a favorable rate variance of P1,600. Variable overhead spending was lower than standard, giving a favorable variance of P800, while efficiency was also favorable at P1,000.

    Problem 1: Faring Company produces many products for household use.


    Company sells products to storekeepers as well as to customers. DetergentDX is one of the products of Faring Company. It is a cleaning product that is
    produced, packed in large boxes and then sold to customers and
    storekeepers.
    Faring Company uses a traditional standard costing system to control costs
    and has established the following materials, labor and overhead standards to
    produce one box of Detergent-DX:
    Direct materials: 1.5 pounds @ P12 per pound
    Direct labor: 0.6 hours P24 per hour
    Variable manufacturing overhead: 0.6 hours @
    P5.00

    P18.00
    P14.40
    P3.00
    ______
    35.40
    ______

    During August 2014, company produced and sold 3,000 boxes of DetergentDX. 8,000 pounds of direct materials were purchased @ P11.50 per pound.
    Out of these 8,000 pounds, 6,000 pounds were used during August. There
    was no inventory at the beginning of August. 1,600 direct labor hours
    were recorded during the month at a cost of P40,000. The variable
    manufacturing overhead costs during August totaled P7,200.
    Additional Informations:
    3,000 x 1.5 pounds = 4,500 pounds (Standard Quantity)
    3,000 x 0.6 = 1,800 direct labor hours (Standard DL allowed)
    7,200/1,600 = 4.5 (Actual Rate)
    Required:
    a. Compute materials price variance and materials quantity variance.
    (Assume that the materials price variance is computed at the time of
    purchase.) (2 pts)
    b. Compute direct labor rate variance and direct labor efficiency variance.
    (2 pts)
    c. Compute variable overhead spending variance and variable overhead
    efficiency variance. (2 pts)
    Solution:

    (a) Materials variances:


    Materials price variance = (Actual quantity purchased x Actual price) - (Actual
    quantity purchased x Standard price)

    = (8,000 pounds P11.50) (8,000 pounds P12)


    = P92,000 P96,000
    = P4,000 Favorable
    Materials quantity variance = (Actual quantity of materials used x Standard price) (Standard quantity of materials allowed x Standard price)

    = (6,000 pounds P12) (4,500 pounds P12)


    = P72,000 P54,000
    = P18,000 Unfavorable
    (b) Labor variances:
    Direct labor rate variance = (Actual direct labor hours worked x Actual rate) - (Actual
    direct labor hours worked x Standard rate)

    = P40,000 (1,600 hours P24)


    = P40,000 P38,400
    = P1,600 Unfavorable
    Direct labor efficiency variance = (Actual direct labor hours worked x Standard rate) (standard direct labor hours allowed x Standard rate)

    = (1,600 hours P24) (1,800 hours P24)


    = P38,400 P43,200
    = P4,800 Favorable
    (3) Variable overhead variances:
    Variable overhead spending variance = (Actual hours worked x Actual rate) - (Actual
    hours worked x Standard rate)

    = (1,600 hours P4.5) (1,600 hours P5)


    = P7,200 P8,000
    = P800 Favorable
    Variable overhead efficiency variance = (Actual hours worked x Standard rate) (Standard hours allowed x standard rate)

    = (1,600 hours P5) (1,800 hours P5)


    = P8,000 P9,000
    = P1,000 Favorable

    The direct materials to produce this product is available in liquid form. During
    May, 60,000 liters of direct materials were purchased and 38,000 liters were
    sent to production department. The production for the month of May was
    6,000 containers.
    The following costs were incurred during May.

    Required:
    a. Compute actual direct labor hours worked during the month of May. (1pt)
    b. Compute variable manufacturing overhead spending variance. (1pt)
    c. Compute direct labor rate variance and direct labor efficiency variance. (2
    pts)
    Additional Informations:
    P40,950/6,500 = P6.3 (Actual Rate)
    Solution:

    (a) Actual direct labor hours worked during May:


    Standard hours allowed at standard rate (6,000* hours P6)
    P36,000
    Add: unfavorable efficiency variance
    3,000
    Actual hours worked at standard rate
    P39,000
    *6,000 containers x 1 hour
    Actual hours worked = Actual hours worked at standard rate / Standard rate
    = P39,000 / P6
    = 6,500 hours
    (b) Variable manufacturing overhead spending variance:
    Variable overhead spending variance = (Actual hours worked x Actual rate) (Actual hours worked x Standard rate)
    = (6,500 hours P6.3) (6,500 hours P6)
    = P40,950 P39,000
    = P1,950 Unfavorable
    (c) Labor variances:
    Direct labor rate variance = (Actual direct labor hours worked x Actual rate) - (Actual
    direct labor hours worked x Standard rate)
    = P55,900 (6,500 hours P9)
    = P55,900 P58,500
    = P2,600 Favorable

    Direct labor efficiency variance = (Actual direct labor hours worked x Standard rate) (standard direct labor hours allowed x Standard rate)
    = (6,500 hours P9) (6,000 hours P9)
    = P58,500 P54,000
    = P4,500 Unfavorable

    Materials price variance = (AQPx AP) - (AQPx SP)


    Materials quantity variance = (AQUx SP) - (SQAx SP)
    Direct labor rate variance = (ADLHWx AR) - (ADLHWx SR)
    Direct labor efficiency variance = (ADLHWx SR) - (SDLHAx SR)
    Variable overhead spending variance = (AHWx AR) - (AHWx SR)
    Variable overhead efficiency variance = (AHWx SR) - (SHAx SR)
    Actual hours worked = AHW @ SR/SR
