Houchen Ltd uses a standard absorption costing system to control the manufacturing costs of its single product.
The following standards have been set:
€per unit Direct material 2kgs at €6 per kg 12 Direct labour 2 hours at €13 per hour 26 Variable overhead 2 hours at €4 per hour 8 Fixed overheads 2 hours at €4.50 per hour 9
––– Total production cost 55 –––
The fixed overhead standard cost per unit is based upon a budgeted monthly production of 4,000 units.
Actual results for the most recent month were: Production 4,300 units. Direct material cost €56,000 for 9,000kgs bought and used. Direct labour cost €114,312 for 8,660 hours. Variable overhead €33,240 Fixed overheads €35,000. No material inventories (stocks) are held as the company operates in a JIT environment. Required: Calculate each of the following variances:
(1) Direct material price and material usage

efficiency=2100
3) labor idle time =-78
(4) Fixed overhead expenditure and overhead volume
expenditure =35000
volume =
