Glove Co makes high quality, hand-made gloves which it sells for an average of $180 per pair. The standard cost of labour for each pair is $42 and the standard labour time for each pair is three hours. In the last quarter, Glove Co had budgeted production of 12,000 pairs, although actual production was 12,600 pairs in order to meet demand.
37,000 hours were used to complete the work and there was no idle time. The total labour cost for the quarter was $531,930.
At the beginning of the last quarter, the design of the gloves was changed slightly. The new design required workers to sew the company’s logo on to the back of every glove made and the estimated time to do this was 15 minutes for each pair. However, no-one told the accountant responsible for updating standard costs that the standard time per pair of gloves needed to be changed. Similarly, although all workers were given a 2% pay rise at the beginning of the last quarter, the accountant was not told about this either. Consequently, the standard was not updated to reflect these changes.
When overtime is required, workers are paid 25% more than their usual hourly rate.
Required:
(a) Calculate the total labour rate and total labour efficiency variances for the last quarter. (2 marks)
(b) Analyse the above total variances into component parts for planning and operational variances in as much detail as the information allows. (6 marks)
(c) Assess the performance of the production manager for the last quarter. (7 marks)
A manufacturing company, Man Co, has two divisions: Division L and Division M. Both divisions make a single standardised product. Division L makes component L, which is supplied to both Division M and external customers.
Division M makes product M using one unit of component L and other materials. It then sells the completed
product M to external customers. To date, Division M has always bought component L from Division L.
The following information is available:
Division L charges the same price for component L to both Division M and external customers. However, it does not incur the selling and distribution costs when transferring internally.
Division M has just been approached by a new supplier who has offered to supply it with component L for $37 per unit. Prior to this offer, the cheapest price which Division M could have bought component L for from outside the group was $42 per unit.
It is head office policy to let the divisions operate autonomously without interference at all.
Required:
(a) Calculate the incremental profit/(loss) per component for the group if Division M accepts the new supplier’s
offer and recommend how many components Division L should sell to Division M if group profits are to be
maximised. (3 marks)
(b) Using the quantities calculated in (a) and the current transfer price, calculate the total annual profits of each division and the group as a whole. (6 marks)
(c) Discuss the problems which will arise if the transfer price remains unchanged and advise the divisions on a suitable alternative transfer price for component L. (6 marks)
