Labour cost variance = R.s 33,000 (F)
Labour rate variance = R.s 33000 (F)
Labour efficiency variance = 0

Given:

Standard Number of men = 60

Standard Number of women = 30

Standard Number of boys = 20

Standard hour rate for men = R.s 280

Standard hour rate for women = R.s 160

Standard hour rate for boys = R.s 140

Weekly working hour = 40 hours

Expected unit = 5,000 units

Number of men in march week = 70

Number of women in march week = 25

Number of boy in march week = 25

Actual wage for men = R.s 270

Actual wage for women = R.s 165

Actual wage for boys = R.s 130

Actual units = 4,500 units

Find:

Labour cost variance
Labour rate variance
Labour efficiency variance

Computation:

Labour cost variance = [SC for AO] - AC

Labour cost variance = [( 70 × 280) + (25 × 160) + (25 × 140)] - [(70 × 270) + (25 × 165) + (25 × 130)] × 40

Labour cost variance = (27,100 - 26,275 ) × 40

Labour cost variance = R.s 33,000 (F)

Labour rate variance = (SR - AR) × AH worked

Labour rate variance = [(280 - 270)70 + (160 - 165)25 + (140 - 130)25]40

Labour rate variance = [700 - 125 + 250]40

Labour rate variance = [825]40

Labour rate variance = R.s 33000 (F)

Labour efficiency variance = (SH allowed - AH worked)SR

Labour efficiency variance = (0 - 0)SR

Labour efficiency variance = 0

1. What is a supply chain? How can managerial accountants help to improve the supply chain?

murzikaleks [220]

Answer: 1a. A supply chain is the summation of processes involved in ensuring that goods manufactured by a company gets to the final consumer.

Explanation:

1b. Managerial Accountants can improve the supply chain by looking out for hitches in the distribution cycle of goods and being proactive about handling them. Some measures to achieve these are;

1. Effective Logistics Network - All the resources used on logistics such as vehicles, Information technology devices/software, human resources, etc., should be regularly checked to be in good form at all times and equally, efficient.

2. Stock Control - Goods that may be required by costumers at any point in time should always be available.

3. Efficient Payment System - All resources used for payment including bank account information point of sale machines, should be regularly checked to be in good order.

4. Distribution Strategies - A clear cut map should be put in place by the management to facilitate an efficient and prompt delivery system. This can be done by strengthening all departments involved in distribution.

2. Sustainable Practices are those methods of production or initiatives, adopted by companies that seek to limit damage to the environment. An example, is recycling. These practices are geared at ensuring a safer world.

I would invest in a company that discloses their sustainable practices, first, because I believe they are transparent, and secondly because I believe that such companies aim at being enduring companies which are evolving and living up to the demands of a cleaner earth.
