Question 5 – Standard Costs and Variance Analysis
STEFANO Company makes laptops, for which the following standards have been developed:
Direct Costs | Standard Inputs Expected for Each Unit of Output | Standard Price Expected per Unit of Output |
Direct materials | 2 kilograms | $4.5 per kilogram |
Direct labour | 2.5 hours | $22 per hour |
During March, production of 200 laptops was expected, but 180 laptops were actually completed. Direct materials purchased and used were 400 kilograms at an actual price of $5 per kilogram. Direct labour cost for the month was $10,350, and the actual pay per hour was $25.00.
Instructions:
- Compute the direct-material price variance for March.
- Compute the direct-material quantity variance for the month of March.
- Compute the direct-labour rate (price) variance for the month of March.
- Compute the direct-labour efficiency (quantity) variance for the month of March.
- What problems/issues would you report to STEFANO’s top management that relate to your findings in parts (a) to (d)?
