A company makes a product using two materials, one of which is interchangeable with a third material. The standards for producing one 200-pound batch are presented below. The last 200-pound batch was produced using 185 pounds of M and 210 pounds of O. The price of M was $0.03 per pound and the actual price of O was $0.10.
Material Standard Quantity (lbs) Standard Cost/lb. Total Cost
O 0 $0.10 $0
H 125 0.08 10.00
M 75 0.02
1.50 200 $11.50
Is the material mix variance favorable or unfavorable

Answer:

The material mix variance unfavorable.

Explanation:

This can be determined using the following 3 steps:

Step 1: Calculation of the total Standard Cost of Actual Mix of the 3 materials

Standard Cost of Actual Mix of material O = Units of material O used * Standard cost of material O = 210 * $0.10 = $21

Standard Cost of Actual Mix of material H = Units of material H used * Standard cost of material H = 0 * $0.08 = $0

Standard Cost of Actual Mix of material M = Units of material M used * Standard cost of material M = 185 * $0.02 = $3.79

Total Standard Cost of Actual Mix of the three materials = Standard Cost of Actual Mix of material O + Standard Cost of Actual Mix of material H + Standard Cost of Actual Mix of material M = $21 + $0 + $3.79 = $24.70

Step 2: Calculation of the total Standard Cost of Standard Mix of the 3 materials

Standard Cost of Standard Mix of material O = Standard Units of material O * Standard cost of material O = 0 * $0.10 =  $0

Standard Cost of Standard Mix of material H = Standard Units of material H * Standard cost of material H = 125 * $0.08 = $10

Standard Cost of Standard Mix of material M = Standard Units of material M * Standard cost of material M = 75 * $0.02 = $1.50

Standard Cost of Standard Mix of the three materials = Standard Cost of Standard Mix of material O + Standard Cost of Standard Mix of material H + Standard Cost of Standard Mix of material M = $0 + $10 + $1.50 = $11.50

Step 3: Calculation of material mix variance

Material mix variance = Total Standard Cost of Actual Mix of the three materials - Standard Cost of Standard Mix of the three materials = $24.70 - $11.50 = $13.20

Since the Total Standard Cost of Actual Mix of the three materials is greater than Standard Cost of Standard Mix of the three materials (i.e. by $13.20), this implies that the material mix variance unfavorable.

Bing Book Bindery has identified two activity cost pools: printing, with an activity driver of batches processed, and binding, with an activity driver of direct labor hours. For the coming quarter, total factory overhead of $140,000 is split such that 65% is allocated to printing and 35% is allocated to binding. Bing makes two types of books: hard cover and soft cover. During the quarter, it expects to produce 5,200 hard cover books and 12,000 soft cover books. Hard covers are produced in batch sizes of 100 and soft covers are produced in batch sizes of 300. A hard cover book requires 0.75 hours of direct labor, while a soft cover book requires 0.25 hours. What is the overhead allocation to soft covers for printing

Finding the correct size, she picked it up and positioned it into the hexagonal socket of a screw that had previously been hand-turned into a threaded hole in the work unit. She then twirled the Allen wrench handle with one continuous finger and wrist motion until the screw had been rotated seven turns. At this point she gripped the Allen wrench handle with her hand and tightened the screw the last quarter turn. Write a list of the therbligs that comprise this motion sequence and label each basic motion with a brief description.
