Problem 2 -

• Standard cost per roll: a pounds at $4.00 per pound.
• Total actual cost: b pounds costing $9,600.
• Standard cost allowed for units produced was $9,000.
• Materials price variance: c .
• Materials efficiency variance was $80 unfavorable.

Direct Manufacturing Labor:

• Standard cost is 3 hours per roll at $8.00 per hour.
• Actual cost per hour was $8.25.
• Total actual cost: d .
• Labor price variance: e .
• Labor efficiency variance was $400 unfavorable.

Required: Compute the missing elements in the report represented by the lettered items.

Problem 3 -

Simon Manufacturing has the following standard cost sheet for one of its products:

The company uses a standard costing and allocates factory overhead based on direct labor hours and determines the factory overhead rate based on budgeted sales of the product which is 400 units.

Simon has the following actual operating results for the year just completed:

Required: Compute the following variances:

a. Variable overhead spending variance

b. Variable overhead efficiency variance

c. Underallocated or overallocated variable overhead

d. Fixed overhead spending variance

e. Production-volume variance

f. Underallocated or overallocated fixed overhead

Problem 4 -

During 2013, ABC Company that manufactures and sells electric tabletop grills, produced 275,000 units of products. It sold the product at $60 per unit. The beginning inventory balance of 2013 was 5,000 units. Total fixed costs and unit variable costs of 2013 are the same as those of 2012. At the beginning of 2013, the managers expected to sell 220,000 units, which is the same as the budgeted and actual sales for 2012. The manager then used this quantity as the allocation base for allocating fixed overhead costs during 2013. For simplicity, assume there were no price, efficiency, or spending variances. Any production-volume variance was written off to cost of goods sold. Absorption costing income statement for 2013 is as following, assuming variable selling and administrative cost is $2.5 per unit:

Required:

1. Prepare income statement using variable costing for 2013.

2. Briefly explain the difference between variable income and absorption income.

Problem 5 -

Reliant Home Care Services provides assistance to seniors who live in their own homes. It operates three program segments-home nursing, meals on wheels, and housekeeping. In the home-nursing program, nurses visit seniors on a regular basis to check on their general health. The meals-on-wheels program delivers a hot meal once a day to enrolled seniors. The housekeeping program provides weekly house-cleaning and maintenance services. A segmented income statement for 2013 follows:

* For Home Nursing, the $12,000 is rent paid for a vehicle. For Meals on Wheels, the $40,000 is amortization of vehicles and equipment. For Housekeeping, the $8,000 is amortization of a vehicle.

** General administrative expenses are allocated to segments based on program fee revenue.

The results for the prior three years were very similar-a loss on housekeeping. This year is not expected to be any different. The chief administrator is concerned about the organization's sus-tainability and is considering discontinuing the housekeeping program.

Housekeeping's amortization expense is for a small van that is used to transport the housekeepers and their equipment from job to job. If this program is discontinued, then the van would be transferred to the home-nursing program. With the use of this van, the home-nursing program would no longer need to rent the van that it currently uses. General-administrative expenses would not change if the housekeeping program is dropped, but the segment's liability insurance and salary of the program administrator would be avoided.

Required: Should the housekeeping program be discontinued? Why? If it is discontinued, what would be the change in Reliant's operating income? Show your calculations.
