Standard Cost Systems
This variance isfavorable becausethe actual
costis less than thestandard cost.

    material were purchased on May 10 at a total cost
    of 6,630. The material was used to make 1,000
    Zippies that were completed on May 15.

week show 1,450 hours were worked at a total
labor cost of 11,890 to make 1,000 Zippies that

Labor Rate Variance
Using highly paid skilled workers toperform
unskilled tasks results in anunfavorable rate
variance.
High skill,high rate
Low skill,low rate
Production managers who make work assignmentsare
generally responsible for rate variances.

Responsibility for Labor Variances
I am not responsible for the unfavorable
laborefficiency variance! You purchased
cheapmaterial, so it took moretime to process
it.
46
Responsibility for Labor Variances
Maybe I can attribute the laborand material
variances to personnel for hiring the wrong
peopleand training them poorly.

Manufacturing Overhead Variances
  • Lets turn our attention to manufacturing
    overhead

48
Manufacturing Overhead Variances
  • Recall that overhead costs are applied to
    products and services using a predetermined
    overhead rate (POHR)

Applied Overhead POHR Standard Activity

49
Manufacturing Overhead Variances
Contains variableoverhead thatincreases
asactivity increases.
Contains fixedoverhead thatremains constant
asactivity changes.
Overhead Rate
Function of activity levelchosen to determine
rate.
50
Manufacturing OverheadVariances Example
  • Hanson, Inc. has the following manufacturing
    overhead at three different levels of activity

Hanson applies overhead based on machine hour
activity.
51
Overhead Variances Question 1
The total overhead rate for an estimated
activity of 3,000 machine hours (MH) is a.
5.00 per machine hour. b. 4.00 per machine
hour. c. 3.00 per machine hour. d. 2.00
per machine hour.

61
Advantages of Standard Costs
Possible reductionsin production costs.
Improved cost control and performanceevaluation.
Better informationfor planning anddecision
making.
62
Disadvantages of Standard Costs
Emphasis onnegativeexceptions mayimpact morale.
It may be difficultto determinewhich
variancesare significant.
Emphasis on negativeexceptions maylead to
under-reporting.
63
JIT Systems and Variance Analysis
JIT systems may reduce unfavorable variances.
Long-term agreementswith suppliers
eliminateprice variances.
Well-trained flexiblework force reduces
laborefficiency variance.
Emphasis on qualityreduces materialquantity
