LEARNING OBJECTIVE 1
Describe standard costs.
Item Price
Purchase price, net of discounts $2.70
Freight 0.20
Receiving and handling 0.10
Standard direct materials price per pound $3.00
Item Price
Hourly wage rate $12.50
COLA 0.25

Budgeted Standard
Overhead Rate per
Overhead Amount ÷ Direct Labor =
Direct Labor Hours
Costs Hours
Variable $79,200 ÷ 26,400 = $3.00
Fixed 52,800 ÷ 26,400 = 2.00
Total $132,000 ÷ 26,400 = $5.00
LEARNING OBJECTIVE 2
Determine direct materials variances.
LEARNING OBJECTIVE 3
Determine direct labor and total manufacturing
overhead variances.
LEARNING OBJECTIVE 4
Prepare variance reports and balanced scorecards.
Reporting Variances
• Variances should be reported to appropriate levels of
management
• Form, content, and frequency of variance reports vary
• Facilitate principle of “management by exception”
• Management normally looks for significant variances
