1 Chapter 21 Flexible Budgets and Standard Costing QUESTIONS 1. Fixed budget performance reports have limited usefulness because they do not reflect differences in revenues and variable costs that can occur simply because actual volume is different from budgeted volume. This is a serious limitation when evaluating (benchmarking) the reasonableness of actual revenues and costs. 2. The primary purpose of a flexible budget is to help managers better evaluate past performance, which can improve their abilities to monitor and control operations. 3. The proper title is: Spalding Company Flexible Budget Performance Report For Year Ended December 31, 2013 The proper title communicates to the user the focus of the report. Although it may seem obvious, many reports used in the business world do not have a proper or descriptive title. The sooner a student begins to make this a routine task in completing assignments, the better skilled s/he will be for the business world. 4. A flexible budget performance report is useful for an analysis of the difference between actual performance and budgeted performance often called variance analysis. Its usefulness stems from the fact that both the budgeted and actual results are based on the same level of activity. 5. A variable cost implies a constant per unit cost for each unit produced or sold within the relevant range. 6. The human resource department is usually responsible for a labor rate variance. The production department is usually responsible for a labor efficiency variance. However, the two responsibilities may not be completely separate. For example, a favorable rate variance may have occurred because the human resource department hired poorly trained employees, in which case the production department used more hours than expected (resulting in an unfavorable efficiency variance) because of higher waste. 7. A price variance is that portion of a cost variance caused by a difference between the actual unit price of an item and its standard price. A quantity variance is that portion of a cost variance caused by a difference between the actual number of units of an item used and the standard number of units budgeted to be used. Solutions Manual, Chapter

2 8. Standard costs are used to establish a basis to assess the reasonableness of actual costs. A comparison of standard costs to actual costs should help management identify unexpected differences and then pursue explanations as to why actual costs varied from the standard. 9. An overhead volume variance is the difference between (a) the amount of (fixed) overhead that would have been budgeted at the actual operating level achieved during the period (that is, budgeted fixed overhead) and (b) the standard amount of (fixed) overhead applied to actual products produced during the period. A volume variance occurs when the actual volume differs from the expected volume that is used to establish the predetermined rate. 10. A predetermined standard overhead rate is a measure computed and used in a standard cost system to assign overhead costs to products. Before the period begins, budgeted total overhead costs (variable and fixed) at the expected volume are divided by the expected amount of the allocation base (direct labor hours, machine hours, or some other measure of activity). This yields the predetermined standard overhead rate. Then as production activities occur, this predetermined overhead rate is applied to the standard quantity of output produced to establish the amount of overhead assigned to that output. 11. In general, variance analysis is said to provide information about price and quantity variances. 12. A controllable variance is the difference between (a) the total overhead cost actually incurred in the period and (b) the total overhead cost that would have been budgeted at the actual operating level achieved. Specifically, the controllable variance is the sum of the total variable overhead variances (both variable overhead spending and efficiency variances) and the fixed overhead spending variance. 13. Standard costs provide a basis for evaluating actual performance. Summary information comparing actual costs to budgeted costs is captured and reported in a flexible budget. The evaluation reports differences between actual costs and standard costs as variances. Variance analysis draws attention to situations where actual costs differ from standard costs. Management by exception can be used in performing variance analysis by focusing management s attention on the variances where actual costs are most different from standard costs. 14. Before a period starts, the manager can prepare flexible budgets for the various types of snowmobiles. Then, she could estimate both the best and worst case scenarios for the upcoming period. The manager can then adjust personnel or promotions, for instance, to help achieve acceptable results. After the period ends, the manager can use the flexible budget to determine how actual results compare to the plan for the achieved level of sales. 15. Apple schedules appointments with customers to service Apple computers, iphones, ipods etc. These service appointments require standard hours at standard rates to complete, depending on the type of service. Apple can calculate the price (rate) and quantity (efficiency) variances for these various services to maintain control over them Financial & Managerial Accounting, 5th Edition

3 16. The controllable variance should not be affected by achieving an actual operating level different from the budgeted level. If the company operated at 75% of capacity, a controllable variance will arise only if the actual overhead cost is different from the amount shown on a flexible budget for overhead computed at the 75% level. In contrast, the volume variance is affected when the percent of actual capacity differs from that expected. If the company operated at less than planned (for example, at 75% instead of the 80% budgeted) the volume variance will be unfavorable. This means that the company will not apply as much overhead to each unit or job as planned. Stated differently, each job or unit will be undercosted.

Quick Study 21-4 (10 minutes) 1. Management by exception involves managers focusing on the most significant variances for analysis and action strategies. It also results in less attention given to areas where performance is close enough to the standard to be satisfactory. This means management concentrates on the exceptional or irregular situations and defers dealing with areas that report actual results reasonably close to the plan. 2. Management often uses standard costs to compute these variances. Since standard costs are used by managers to focus on the areas in which actual results deviate most significantly from the norm, the accurate setting of standard costs is crucial to effective implementation of management by exception.

15 Exercise 21-5 (Concluded) November variances Preliminary computations Actual hours: 22,000 hours (given) Standard hours: 6,000 units x 3 hrs./unit = 18,000 hours Actual rate: $335,500/22,000 hrs. = $15.25/hr. Standard rate: $15.00/hr.

The unfavorable labor rate variance in October means the actual rate for an hour of labor is greater than budgeted. The favorable labor efficiency variance means the actual hours used are less than budgeted. Together, these results can be interpreted to mean that employees are paid more than budgeted, but are also more productive than budgeted. Perhaps a more skilled labor force was used during the month of October. In November, there was an unfavorable rate variance and an unfavorable efficiency variance. The company needs to look carefully at why there was such a large unfavorable efficiency variance. Solutions Manual, Chapter

17 Exercise 21-7 A (20 minutes) 1. Variable overhead spending and efficiency variances Actual Overhead AH x AVR AH x SVR Applied Overhead SH x SVR (Given) 340,000 x $ ,000 x $4.00 hours per hour hours per hour $1,375,000 $1,360,000 $1,400,000 $15,000 U (Spending variance) $40,000 F (Efficiency variance) $25,000 F (Total variable overhead variance) Interpretation: The $15,000 unfavorable spending variance means the actual cost of variable overhead is more than budgeted. This unfavorable variance can occur because the cost of variable overhead is greater than budgeted or because more variable items are consumed than anticipated. It could also be a combination of both; where the cost and usage may be greater or less than anticipated, yet the net impact is an unfavorable spending variance. The $40,000 favorable efficiency variance occurs because the actual labor hours used is less than the standard labor hours required for actual production. Labor hours are used as the allocation base. Solutions Manual, Chapter

18 Exercise 21-7 A (continued) 2. Fixed overhead spending and volume variances Actual Overhead Budgeted Overhead Applied Overhead (Given) (Given) 350,000 x $1.60 hours per hour $628,600 $600,000 $560,000 $28,600 U (Spending variance) $40,000 U (Volume variance) $68,600 U (Total fixed overhead variance) Interpretation The $28,600 unfavorable spending variance means actual cost of fixed overhead is more than budgeted. The $40,000 unfavorable volume variance is the result of the company actually operating at 70% capacity rather than the budgeted 75% capacity. Not all of the budgeted fixed overhead is applied to production because actual volume fell below budgeted volume. 3. The controllable variance is computed as: Variable overhead spending variance... Variable overhead efficiency variance... Fixed overhead spending variance... Controllable variance... $15,000 U 40,000 F 28,600 U $ 3,600 U The controllable variance refers to activities that are considered within management s control. The unfavorable controllable variance of $3,600 indicates that overall, management performed relatively poorly in controlling overhead costs Financial & Managerial Accounting, 5th Edition

The unfavorable price variance means the actual price paid is more than the budgeted price. The favorable quantity variance means the actual quantity used is less than the budgeted amount. It appears the company operated with quality materials in an efficient manner at a slightly higher than expected cost. Solutions Manual, Chapter

23 Exercise (25 minutes) 1. Sales price and sales volume variances Sales Actual Sales Flexible Budget Fixed Budget Units Price/unit $1,200 $1,100 $1,100 (350 x $1,200) (350 x $1,100) (365 x $1,100) Total $420,000 $385,000 $401,500 $35,000 F (Sales price variance) $16,500 U (Sales volume variance) 2. Interpretation The $35,000 favorable sales price variance implies it sold computers for a higher price than budgeted. The $16,500 unfavorable sales volume variance implies it sold fewer computers than budgeted, perhaps because of the price increase. Exercise (10 minutes) a. 4 b. 3 c. 5 d. 2 e. 1 Exercise (15 minutes) (1) c (2) a (3) b (4) i (5) e (6) h (7) d (8) f (9) j (10) g Exercise (5 minutes) Following management by exception, the company should focus on those variances that exhibit the greatest differences from the standard. This would likely include the direct materials quantity ($3,000 unfavorable) and direct labor efficiency ($2,200 favorable). Though the fixed overhead volume variance is relatively large ($500 favorable), it merely shows the company operated at a capacity level different than expected. Solutions Manual, Chapter

43 Problem 21-7A A (Continued) Part 2 Under management by exception, the manager would first identify the largest variances, attempt to uncover their causes, and then implement actions aimed at correcting them. The smaller variances would be tackled after the major problems were dealt with, if at all. The largest variance amounts occur for the material quantity variance, the direct labor efficiency variance, and the two overhead variances. The manager should go to the production department to find out why the process used more materials and less labor hours than expected. The controllable variance would need to be broken down into its components for individual cost items to see which ones deviated most from expected results.* Based on these findings, lower-level managers would be called on to explain what happened. After the relatively larger amounts are explained and actions taken, the manager can seek explanations of the less significant material price variance from the purchasing department and the direct labor rate variance from the personnel department. * The unfavorable volume variance indicates that the company produced fewer items than expected. Managers would need to determine whether this was because of declining sales, idle time, breakdowns, or other reasons. Solutions Manual, Chapter
