Flexible Budgeting and Variance Analysis I Love My Chocolate Company makes dark chocolate and light chocolate. Both products require cocoa and sugar. The following planning information has been made available: Standard Amount per Case
Dark Chocolate Light Chocolate Standard Price per Pound
Cocoa 12 lbs. 8 lbs. $7.25
Sugar 10 lbs. 14 lbs. 1.40
Standard labor time 0.50 hr. 0.60 hr.
Dark Chocolate Light Chocolate
Planned production 4,700 cases 11,000 cases
Standard labor rate $15.50 per hr. $15.50 per hr.
I Love My Chocolate Company does not expect there to be any beginning or ending inventories of cocoa or sugar. At the end of the budget year, I Love My Chocolate Company had the following actual results:
Dark Chocolate Light Chocolate
Actual production (cases) 5,000 10,000
Actual Price per Pound Actual Pounds Purchased and Used
Cocoa $7.33 140,300
Sugar 1.35 188,000
Actual Labor Rate Actual Labor Hours Used
Dark chocolate $15.25 per hr. 2,360
Light chocolate 15.80 per hr. 6,120
Required:
1. Prepare the following variance analyses for both chocolates and the total, based on the actual results and production levels at the end of the budget year: Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.
Direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total variance.
Direct labor rate variance, direct labor time variance, and total variance.
a. Direct materials price variance$
Direct materials quantity variance $
Total direct materials cost variance $
b. Direct labor rate variance $
Direct labor time variance $
Total direct labor cost variance $
2. The variance analyses should be based on the amounts at volumes. The budget must flex with the volume changes. If the volume is different from the planned volume, as it was in this case, then the budget used for performance evaluation should reflect the change in direct materials and direct labor that will be required for the production. In this way, spending from volume changes can be separated from efficiency and price variances.
