The Flexible Budgetand Variance Analysis

• The flexible budget variance is 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
Objective 3

• Identify the benefits
• of standard costs.

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
Objective 4

• Compute standard cost variances
• for direct materials and direct labor.

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 fixed expenses were 2,000 more than
budgeted.

foot. SQ of materials allowed (gunite) was 1,000
cubic feet per pool.

Objective 5

• Analyze manufacturing overhead
• in a standard cost system.

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.

Total ManufacturingOverhead Variance...

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

• The total manufacturing overhead variance is
  split into the manufacturing flexible budget
  variance and the production volume variance.
• Flexible budget overhead for actual production

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.
