The company appears to be having significant problems in two areas. First, the large
unfavorable materials quantity variance ($10,400) indicates that far more material is being
used in the production process than is provided for in the cost standards. Assuming that
the cost standards are reasonable, the quantity of materials being used is excessive. Second,
the overhead spending variance. The favorable materials price variance ($8,800) may
indicate that the purchasing department is doing an excellent job of securing materials at
advantageous prices. The overhead spending variance may indicate that the production
manager is doing very well at controlling spending on overhead. However, these favorable
variances may be closely linked to the company’s problems in the areas of materials usage
positions, which may be contributing to the inefficient use of materials and the low
productivity of direct workers. Thus, management should thoroughly investigate the causes
of these cost variances.
