Problem 1 Static Budget Variance

Banca Books, Inc., produces luxury checkbooks with three checks and stubs per
page. Each checkbook is designed for an individual customer and is ordered
through the customers bank. The companys operating budget for September
2014 included these data:
Number

Checkbooks
Selling price per
book

The executive vice president of the company observed that the operating income
for September was much lower than anticipated, despite a higher-than-budgeted
selling price and a lower-than-budgeted variable cost per unit. As the companys
management accountant, you have been asked to provide explanations for the
disappointing September results.
Banca Books, Inc., develops its flexible budget on the basis of budgeted peroutput-unit revenue and per-output-unit variable costs without detailed analysis
of budgeted inputs.
Bank Management develops its flexible budget on the basis of budgeted peroutput-unit revenue and per-output-unit variable costs without detailed analysis
of budgeted inputs.
1. Prepare a static-budget-based variance analysis of the September
performance.
2. Prepare a flexible-budget-based variance analysis of the September
performance.
3. Why might Bank Management find the flexible-budget-based variance
analysis more informative than the static-budget-based variance analysis?
Explain your answer.

Problem 2- Flexible Budget Breakdowns

PT Alam Sejahtera is a manufacturing company in the snack industry. Earlier in
2013, the management decided to introduce a new product called Kacang
Premium, an assortment of nuts in a pack, and it will be manufactured in the
Karawang Barat Plant. As its name suggests, Kacang Premium uses only the best
ingredients and is seasoned with a secret ingredient. Kacang Premium will be
sold in packs of 150 grams, and made in batches. The Product Development
Manager has proposed that a batch of Kacang Premium (consisting of 200 packs)
consists of ingredients as below:

1. What is the budgeted cost of direct materials for the 30.000 packs?
2. Calculate the total direct materials efficiency variance.
3. Calculate the total direct materials mix and yield variances. What are these
variances telling you about the 30.000 packs produced this quarter? Are the
variances large enough to investigate?

Problem 4 Variable and Fixed Overhead Variance

The Italiano Beread Company bakes baguettes for fistribution to upscale grocery
stores. The company has two direct-cost categories: DM and DML. Variable
manufacturing overhead is allocated to products on the basis of standard DMLhours. Following is osme budget date for the Italiano Bread Company
DM labor use
Variable Manufacturing Overhead

0.02 hours per baguette

10 per DML-hour

The Italiano Bread Company provides the following additional data for the year
ended December 31, 2014:
Planned (budgeted) output
Actual Production
DML
Actual Variable manufacturing Overhead

3,200,000
2,800,000
50,400
680,400

1. What is the denominator level used for allocating variable manufacturing

overhead?
2. Prepare a variances analysis of variable manufacturing overhead
The Italiano Bread Company also allocates fixed manufacturing overhead to
products on the basis of standard DML-hours. For 2014, fixed manufacturing
overhead was budgeted at $4.00 per DML-hours. Actual fixed manufacturing
overhead incurred during the year was $272,000
1. Prepare a variance analysis of fixed manufacturing overhead cost
2. Is fixed overhead underallocated or overallocated?
