Answer:

price variance 3,940 U

quantity variance 2,800 F

Explanation:

DIRECT MATERIALS VARIANCES

$(standard\:cost-actual\:cost) \times actual \: quantity= DM \: price \: variance$

std cost $7.00

actual cost $7.10

quantity 39,400

$(7 - 7.10) \times 39,400 = DM \: price \: variance$

difference $(0.10)

price variance $(3,940.00)

The difference between std cost and actual cost is negative, we purchased at a higher cost. the variance is unfavorable.

$(standard\:quantity-actual\:quantity) \times standard \: cost = DM \: quantity \: variance$

std quantity 39,000.00 (7,800 manufactured units x 5 lbs per unit)

actual quantity 39,400.00

std cost $ 7.00

$(39,000 - 39,400) \times 7 = DM \: quantity \: variance$

difference -400.00

quantity variance $ (2,800.00)

We used more lbs than our standard for the output. This means we are not efficient in the use of materials. this variance is unfavorable as well

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Plan 2 is the best.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

This year Burchard Company sold 40,000 units of its only product for $25 per unit.

Manufacturing and selling the product required $200,000 of fixed manufacturing costs and $325,000 of fixed selling and administrative costs.

Its per unit variable costs follow:

Material $ 8.00

Direct labor 5.00

Variable overhead costs 1.00

Variable selling and administrative costs 0.50

Next year the company will use a new material, which will reduce material costs by 50% and direct labor costs by 60% and will not affect product quality or marketability.

Direct material= 4

Direct labor= 2

Plan 1:

Sales= 40,000*25= 1,000,000

Variable costs= (4+2+1+0.5)*40,000= 300,000 (-)

Contribution margin= 700,000

Fixed costs= 525,000 (-)

Net operating income= 175,000

Plan 2:

Sales= 36,000*(25*1.2)= 1,080,000

Variable costs= 270,000

Contribution margin= 810,000

Fixed costs= 525,000 (-)

Net operating income= 285,000

Plan 2 is the best.
