1. SH = 5 × 15,000 = 75,000 hours 5 × 15,000 = 75,000
2. SQ = 1 × 15,000 = 15,000 kits 1 × 15,000 = 15,000
SQ = 1 × 15,000 = 15,000 cabinets 1 × 15,000 = 15,000

1. Cases needing investigation:
Week 2: Exceeds the 10% rule. change here, please →
Week 4: Exceeds the $12,000 rule and the 10% rule. Cases to be investigated
Week 5: Exceeds the 10% rule. If the std. cost is exceeded by (%) 10
2. The purchasing agent is responsible. Corrective action would require a return Or
to the purchase of the higher-quality material normally used. If the amount exceeds 12,000
3. Production engineering is responsible. If the relationship of the variances is
standards for materials and labor need to be revised.
