Conclusions to be drawn from the four variances:

Materials price varianceindicates that materials were purchased at a price above


standard.

Materials quantity varianceindicates fewer materials were used in the product


than called for by the standard.

Labor rate varianceindicates that the wage rate paid to production workers was
less than the standard.

Labor efficiency varianceindicates that less time was spent on production than
was called for by the standard.

(2) Budget for actual level

$27,000

$26,800

Controllable Variance
$200 (unfavorable)
1. Data given.
2. The unfavorable controllable variance of $200 indicates that actual cost was
$200 more than the budget for this level of production; therefore, budgeted cost
was $26,800 ($27,000 $200). (Note that you cannot use the budget formula
to compute the budgeted overhead because the actual level of production is not
given.)
