The following scenario relates to questions 1 – 5.

Scenario

Birch Co budgeted to make and sell 20,000 units of Product X in a four-week period, as follows:

$
Budgeted sales ($4 per unit per week) 80,000
Variable costs ($2.50 per unit) 50,000
Contribution 30,000
Fixed costs  3,000
Profit 27,000

The actual results for the period were as follows.

Budgeted sales ($4 per unit) 64,000
Variable costs ($2.50 per unit) 40,000
Contribution 24,000
Fixed costs  3,000
Profit 21,000

In retrospect, it is decided that the optimum budget would have been to sell only 17,500 units in the period.

REQUIREMENT

In a subsequent 4-week period, Birch Co decided to adopt absorption costing and actual fixed costs were $3,500. There were 18,000 units produced. The budgeted fixed costs were $3,000 based on budgeted production of 17,500 units.

The following scenario relates to questions 1 – 5.

Scenario

The Organic Bread Company (OBC) makes a range of breads for sale direct to the public. The production process begins with workers weighing out ingredients on electronic scales and then placing them in a machine for mixing. A worker then manually removes the mix from the machine and shapes it into loaves by hand, after which the bread is placed into the oven for baking.

All baked loaves are then inspected by OBC's quality inspector before they are packaged up and made ready for sale. Any loaves which fail the inspection are donated to a local food bank.

The standard cost card for OBC's 'Mixed Bloomer', one of its most popular loaves, is as follows:

$
White flour 450 grams at $1.80 per kg 0.81
Wholegrain flour 150 grams at $2.20 per kg 0.33
Yeast 10 grams at $20 per kg 0.20
Total 610 grams 1.34

Budgeted production of Mixed Bloomers was 1,000 units for the quarter, although actual production was only 950 units. The total actual quantities used and their actual costs were:

Kg $ per kg
White flour 408.50 1.90
Wholegrain flour 152.0 2.10
Yeast 10.0 20.00
Total 570.5

REQUIREMENT

What is the material mix variance?

5 / 5

The following scenario relates to questions 1 – 5.

Scenario

The Organic Bread Company (OBC) makes a range of breads for sale direct to the public. The production process begins with workers weighing out ingredients on electronic scales and then placing them in a machine for mixing. A worker then manually removes the mix from the machine and shapes it into loaves by hand, after which the bread is placed into the oven for baking.

All baked loaves are then inspected by OBC's quality inspector before they are packaged up and made ready for sale. Any loaves which fail the inspection are donated to a local food bank.

The standard cost card for OBC's 'Mixed Bloomer', one of its most popular loaves, is as follows:

$
White flour 450 grams at $1.80 per kg 0.81
Wholegrain flour 150 grams at $2.20 per kg 0.33
Yeast 10 grams at $20 per kg 0.20
Total 610 grams 1.34

Budgeted production of Mixed Bloomers was 1,000 units for the quarter, although actual production was only 950 units. The total actual quantities used and their actual costs were:

Kg $ per kg
White flour 408.50 1.90
Wholegrain flour 152.0 2.10
Yeast 10.0 20.00
Total 570.5

REQUIREMENT

Which of the following statements would result in a material mix variance in Organic Bread Company?

  1. The production manager in Organic Bread Co deviates from the standard mix.
  2. The selling price of the Mixed Bloomer changes.
  3. An inferior quality of flour or yeast is used unknowingly.

1 / 5

The following scenario relates to questions 1 – 5.

Scenario

Elm Co is a company which operates in Sealand. Elm Co budgeted to sell 25,000 units of a new product during the year. The budgeted sales price was $8 per unit, and the variable cost $4 per unit.

Actual sales during the year were 22,000 units and variable costs of sales were $88,000. Sales revenue was only $9 per unit. With the benefit of hindsight, it is realised that the budgeted sales price of $8 was too low, and a price of $10 per unit would have been much more realistic.

REQUIREMENT

In a subsequent year, the cost of labour was $73,000. 4,000 hours were worked. The budgeted cost of labour was $15 per labour hour.

What is the adverse labour rate variance for this subsequent year?

Note. You are not required to put $ sign nor any coma. (e.g. 1000)

The following scenario relates to questions 1 – 5.

Scenario

A company made a product called Bark. Bark had a standard direct material cost in the budget of:

The following scenario relates to questions 1 – 5.

Scenario

Hollie Hotels Co operates a chain of upmarket hotels across the country of Westland. Each hotel manager is responsible for producing an annual budget, based on targets set by head office.

Online budget training is available for all managers. Hollie Hotels Co has recently updated its information system and it is capable of providing extensive cost information for managers.

Managers find the new system easy to use.

20X0 and 20X1

In 20X1, Hollie Hotels Co used incremental budgeting based on the previous year's actual results. Estimated cost inflation was 5% and occupancy was estimated to be two percentage points higher than 20X0. Hollie Hotel – Northwest is a typical hotel in the chain and opens for 360 days a year. The budgeted and actual results for Hollie Hotel – Northwest in 20X0 were as follows:

Budget
(Y/e Nov 20X0)

Fixed costs $125,000 $130,000

20X2

According to targets set by head office for 20X2, the company hoped to raise total revenue by 7% and total profit by 14%. By the end of the year, total profits had only increased by 9% because of a lack of cost control.
