Exercise

Irfan Gadget Sdn Bhd manufactures products for children and babies. Below is the budgeted cost information of one of its products which is baby car seat for the month of July 2018 based on the budgeted production and sales of 4,000 units.
                            
    RM
Direct material:                                    
                          Welding rods (12,000 kg)                 240,000
                          Fabrics (8,000 meters)                       80,000
                          Direct labour (8,000 hours)               160,000
                          Variable overhead                               80,000
                          Fixed overhead                                   40,000
 
The variable overhead cost is absorbed based on direct labour hours while the fixed overhead cost is absorbed based on number of units produced. The standard selling price of the baby car seat is RM200 per unit.

The actual data for the month is as follows:

Units produced and sold                          5,000
Selling price per unit                               RM180
Direct material:
Welding rods purchased and used   12,500 kg@ RM18 per kg
Fabrics purchased and used           8,750 meters @ RM8 per meter
Direct labour                                         10,000 hours @ RM15 per hour
Variable overhead cost                           RM100,000
Fixed overhead cost                               RM40,000

Required:

a.    Prepare a standard cost for one unit of baby car seat.                               

b.    Analyse the following:

i)          Direct material price variance for welding rods
ii)         Direct material usage variance for fabrics
iii)        Direct labour rate variance
iv)       Direct labour efficiency variance
v)        Variable overhead expenditure variance
vi)       Variable overhead efficiency variance
vii)      Fixed overhead expenditure variance
viii)     Fixed overhead volume variance
ix)       Sales margin price variance
x)        Sales margin volume variance
         

c.  Construct a statement reconciling budgeted profit and actual profit for the month of July 2018 assuming Irfan Gadget Sdn Bhd has the following additional variances:

            i.        Direct material usage variance of RM50,000 (F) for welding rods.
           ii.        Direct material price variance of RM17,500 (F) for fabrics.
