  14. The Flexible Budgetand Variance Analysis • The flexible budget varianceis the difference between what the company spent at the actual level of output and what it should have spent to obtain the actual level of output. • It highlights the difference between actual costs and flexible budget costs.

  15. The Flexible Budgetand Variance Analysis • Oasis Pools actually incurred $105,000 of variable costs to install the 10 pools. • This was $1,250 more than the $103,750 budgeted variable cost for 10 pools. • Oasis Pools also spent $2,000 more than budgeted on fixed expenses ($14,000 – $12,000).

  16. Identify the benefits of standard costs. Objective 3

  17. Benefits of Standard Costs • Standard costs are carefully predetermined costs. • They help managers plan by providing the unit amounts, which are the building blocks of budgeting. • They help simplify record keeping. • Standard quantity often is referred to as the quantity that should have been used.

  18. Compute standard cost variances for direct materials and direct labor. Objective 4

  19. Direct Material andDirect Labor Variances • Price,or rate, which measures how well the business keeps unit prices of materials and labor within standards. • Efficiency, or quantity, which measures whether the quantity of materials or labor used to make the actual number of outputs is within the budget.

  20. Price Variance... • is the difference between the actual price and standard price of inputs used multiplied by the actual quantity of inputs. • Price variance = (Actual quantity × Actual price) – (Actual quantity × Standard price) or... • Actual quantity × (AP – SP)

  21. Efficiency Variance... • is the difference between the actual and standard quantity of inputs allowed multiplied by the standard price of input. • Efficiency variance = (Actual quantity × Standard price) – (Standard quantity × Standard price) or... • Standard price × (AQ – SQ)

  22. Example of Standard Costing Variance analysis begins with a total variance to be explained – in this example, $3,250. Actual variable expenses $105,000 Flexible budget –103,750 Difference 1,250 Actual fixed expenses were $2,000 more than budgeted.

  23. Materials Variances Standards Direct materials cost was $3,575 per cubic foot. SQ of materials allowed (gunite) was 1,000 cubic feet per pool. Actual Results (10 pools were built) AP paid per cubic foot = $3.00 AQ of materials used = 12,000 cubic feet

  24. Materials Variances Price variance: 12,000($3.00 – $3.575) = $6,900 favorable Efficiency variance: $3.575(12,000 – 10,000) = $7,150 unfavorable Flexible budget variance: $6,900 – $7,150 = $250 unfavorable

  25. Materials Variances • Actual cost incurred: (Actual inputs × Actual price) = 12,000 × $3 = $36,000 • Standard cost of actual inputs: (Actual inputs × Standard price) = 12,000 × $3.575 = $42,900 • Flexible budget: (Standard inputs × Standard price) = 10,000 × $3.575 = $35,750

  26. Labor Variances Standards Direct labor cost was $6,000 per pool. SP (rate) was $15 per hour. Standard hours per pool was 400. Actual Results (10 pools were built) AP (actual rate) was $16.10 per hour. AQ (actual hours) was 3,800.

  27. Labor Variances Price (or rate) variance: 3,800($16.10 – $15.00) = $4,180 unfavorable Efficiency variance: $15.00(3,800 – 4,000) = $3,000 favorable Flexible budget variance: $4,180 – $3,000 = $1,180 unfavorable

  28. Labor Variances • Actual cost incurred: (Actual inputs × Actual price) = 3,800 × $16.10 = $61,180 • Standard cost of actual inputs: (Actual inputs × Standard price) = 3,800 × $15 = $57,000 • Flexible budget: (Standard inputs× Standard price) = 4,000 × $15 = $60,000

  29. Flexible Budget Variancesfor Materials and Labor Flexible budget variance for materials $ 250 U Flexible budget variance for labor 1,180 U Total variances $1,430 U Total flexible budget variance $3,250 U Materials and labor variances 1,430 U Flexible budget overhead variances $1,820 U

  30. Analyze manufacturing overhead in a standard cost system. Objective 5

  31. Manufacturing Overhead Variances • The flexible budget variance for manufacturing overhead shows whether managers are keeping total overhead costs within the budgeted amount for the actual production of the period. • The production volume variance arises when actual production differs from the level in the static budget.

  32. Allocating Overhead to Production • Oasis Pools allocates manufacturing overhead to production based on standard direct labor hours for the actual number of outputs. • The static budget, which is based on expected output of 8 pools, is known at the beginning of the period.

  33. Allocating Overhead to Production Standards Variable overhead cost was $800 per pool. Standard hours per pool were 400. Fixed overhead cost was $12,000. Actual Results (10 pools were built) Actual variable overhead was $7,820. Actual hours were 3,800, fixed overhead was $14,000, and total overhead was $21,820.

  34. Allocating Overhead to Production • In a standard cost system, manufacturing overhead is allocated to production based on a predetermined overhead rate. • Most companies base their predetermined overhead rates on amounts from the static (master) budget which is known at the beginning of the year.

  35. Allocating Overhead to Production Oasis Pools Budget Data for the Month Ended May 30, 2002 Budget type Static Flexible Pools 8 10 Standard direct labor hours 3,200 4,000 Overhead cost: Variable $ 6,400 $ 8,000 Fixed 12,000 12,000 Total $18,400 $20,000

  36. Allocating Overhead to Production Standard variable overhead rate per hour: $6,400 ÷ 3,200 = $2.00 Standard fixed overhead rate per hour: $12,000 ÷ 3,200 = $3.75

  37. Total ManufacturingOverhead Variance... • is the amount of underallocated or overallocated manufacturing overhead. • This is the difference between actual manufacturing overhead and allocated manufacturing overhead.

  38. Total ManufacturingOverhead Variance How much standard overhead is allocated to production? 4,000 × $2.00 $ 8,000 variable 4,000 × $3.75 15,000 fixed Total $23,000 Total manufacturing overhead cost variance: $23,000 – $21,820 = $1,180 favorable

  39. Total ManufacturingOverhead Variance • The total manufacturing overhead variance is split into the manufacturing flexiblebudgetvariance and the productionvolumevariance. • Flexible budget overhead for actual production = $12,000 + (4,000 × $2) = $20,000.

  40. Overhead Flexible Budget Variance Oasis Pools – a comparison of actual results with the flexible budget overhead for actual production: Actual ResultsFlexible BudgetVariance Pools 10 10 Overhead cost: Variable $ 7,820 $ 8,000 $ 180 F Fixed 14,000 12,000 $2,000 U Total $21,820 $20,000 $1,820 U Overhead flexible variance is $1,820 unfavorable.

  41. Variable Overhead Variances • Actual cost incurred: (Actual inputs × Actual price) = $7,820 • Standard cost of actual inputs: (Actual inputs × Standard price) = $7,600 • Flexible budget: (Standard inputs × Standard price) = $8,000

  42. Production Volume Variance... • is the difference between the fixed overhead cost in the flexible budget for actual production and the standard fixed overhead allocated to production. • 4,000 × $3.75 = $15,000 allocated • How much is the volume variance? • $12,000 – $15,000 = $3,000 favorable volume variance

  43. Total Overhead Variances Flexible budget variance $1,820 U Volume variance 3,000 F Total $1,180 F

  44. Flexible Budget Variance Flexible budget variance: $3,250 U Materials $ 250 U Labor 1,180 U Flexible budget for overhead 1,820 U Total $3,250 U

  45. Total Variances • Why was actual income $3,250 less than the flexible budget for 10 pools? • Variable costs exceeded the flexible budget by $1,250 and actual fixed costs exceeded the static budget by $2,000.

  46. Record transactions at standard cost. Objective 6

  47. Standard Costs in the Accounts What is the entry to record the purchase of 12,000 cubic feet of materials (actual price paid was $3.00 per cubic foot and the standard being $3.575/cubic foot)? Materials Inventory 42,900 Direct Materials Price Variance 6,900 Accounts Payable 36,000 To record purchases of direct materials

  48. Standard Costs in the Accounts What is the entry to record the transfer of 12,000 actual cubic feet of materials to work in process inventory? Work in Process Inventory 35,750* Direct Materials Efficiency Variance 7,150 Materials Inventory 42,900 To record use of materials *10,000 SQ × $3.575 SP

  49. Standard Costs in the Accounts • Notice that in these entries direct materials price variance is recorded at the time of purchase. • An unfavorable variance has a debit balance which increases the expense. • A favorable variance has a credit balance in the accounts and is a reduction in expenses.

  50. Standard Costs in the Accounts Manufacturing Overhead 21,820 Accounts Payable, Accumulated Depreciation, and Other accounts 21,820 To record actual overhead costs incurred
