16
Q
  • Computed in the same manner as the standards for labor costs are computed.
  • The quantity and price factors used are time (hours) and variable overhead rate per hour.
A

Variable Manufacturing Standards

17
Q
  • Usually expressed in terms of total figures.
  • To set the standard rate for fixed overhead, the total cost is computed using the normal capacity level as the base
  • The standard time for overhead is usually
    expressed in terms of direct labor hours or machine hours.
A

Fixed Manufacturing OH Standards

18
Q

what are predetermined
amounts of standards and budgets?

A
  • a standard is a unit amount
  • a budget is a total amount
19
Q
  • The difference between actual cost and standard cost; it should be investigated and analyzed so it can be avoided in the future.
  • If actual cost is greater than the standard, the variance is unfavorable, otherwise, it is favorable
20
Q

-the accounting process that compares planned or projected performance in the business vs actual results.
-it is a quantitative tool that is intended to identify deviations and their underlying causes.

A

VARIANCE ANALYSIS

21
Q

PRODUCTION COSTS VARIANCES for Direct Materials

A

price and quantity

22
Q

PRODUCTION COSTS VARIANCES for Direct Labor

A

rate and efficiency

23
Q

PRODUCTION COSTS VARIANCES for Factory Overhead

A

controllable and volume

24
Q
  • it is 3 way analysis variance
  • The third variance is “____ _____ _____” which is the product of difference in price and the difference in quantity.
A

joint materials variance

25
- it is 3 way analysis variance - The third variance is “____ _____ ____” which is the product of difference in rate and the difference in time (labor hours).
joint labor variance
26
computation and analysis are the same as in direct labor, except that the rates to be used are the ___
VARIABLE FACTORY OH
27
Three way analysis is used when the production process involves combining or mixing several materials in varying proportions.
Materials Price, Mix & Yield Variance Analysis
28
Responsible for Materials Spending or Price Variance for Price, quality and quantity of materials purchased, delivery time
Purchasing Manager
29
Responsible for Materials Efficiency or Quantity Variances for Quality of materials, defective machines, unskilled workers, poor supervision
Production Manager
30
Responsible for Labor Spending or Rate Variance for Workers’ skill, overtime premiums, unforeseen increase on wage and benefits
Production Supervisor, Staff incharge of setting labor rates
31
Responsible for Labor Efficiency or Time Variance for Workers’ skill, imposition of stricter control measures in the production process
Production Manager
