5. A variable cost implies a constant per unit cost for each unit produced or sold within
6. The human resource department is usually responsible for a labor rate variance. The
production department is usually responsible for a labor efficiency variance. However,
7. A price variance is that portion of a cost variance caused by a difference between the

overhead that would have been budgeted at the actual operating level achieved during
10. A predetermined standard overhead rate is a measure computed and used in a standard
cost system to assign overhead costs to products. Before the period begins, budgeted

12. A controllable variance is the difference between (a) the total overhead cost actually
incurred in the period and (b) the total overhead cost that would have been budgeted at
13. Standard costs provide a basis for evaluating actual performance. Summary
information comparing actual costs to budgeted costs is captured and reported in a

16. The controllable variance should not be affected by achieving an actual operating level
different from the budgeted level. If the company operated at 75% of capacity, a
controllable variance will arise only if the actual overhead cost is different from the

Standard price per pound ................................................................

Material price variance per pound (unfavorable) ................................
$ 0.50
It is also known that:
Material price variance = Price variance per pound x Actual pounds used
Actual pounds used = Material price variance / Price variance per pound
Therefore, substituting with the information given above:
Actual pounds used = $4,000 / $0.50
= 8,000 pounds
