Exercise 23-13 (30 minutes)
1. Preliminary computations
Actual quantity: 22,000 bd. ft. (given)
Direct material cost variances
Actual units at actual cost [22,000 bd. ft. @ $12.10] ................................
$266,200
Price and quantity variances
Actual Cost
AQ x AP
AQ x SP
Standard Cost
SQ x SP
Alternate solution format
Price variance
= AQ x (AP – SP)
= 22,000 board feet x ($12.10 - $12.00)
2. The unfavorable price variance means the actual price paid is more than
the budgeted price. The favorable quantity variance means the actual

2. Variable overhead cost variance
Variable overhead cost incurred [given] ................................
$1,375,000
Variable overhead cost applied [350,000 hrs. @ $4.00] ...........................

Applied Overhead
SH x SVR
(Given)
340,000 x $4.00
350,000 x $4.00
Interpretation:
The $15,000 unfavorable spending variance means the actual cost of variable
overhead is more than budgeted. This unfavorable variance can occur
