Problem 9-17 (continued)
Direct labor
:
Cost formula: $132,720 ÷ 9,480 labor-hours = $14
Spending variance: $134,730 $132,720 = $2,010 U
Planning budget: 9,000 labor-hours × $14 per labor-hour = $126,000
Activity variance: $132,720 ‒ $126,000 = $6,720 U
Supplies
:
Variable portion of cost formula: $4,444 ‒ $4,300 = $144; $144 ÷ (9,480 ‒
9,000) = $0.30
Fixed portion of cost formula: $4,300 ‒ (9,000 labor-hours × $0.30) =
$1,600
Spending variance: $4,940 ‒ $4,444 = $496 U
Activity variance: $4,444 ‒ $4,300 = $144 U
Problem 9-17 (continued)
Factory administration
:
Actual results: $288,088 ‒ ($134,730 + $19,860 + $14,586 + $4,940 +
$78,400) = $35,572

An unfavorable spending variance means that the actual cost was
greater than what the cost should have been for the actual level of
activity. A favorable spending variance means that the actual cost was
less than what the cost should have been for the actual level of activity.
