A11-61 Analyzing Variances and Potential Cause
Go to youTube.com and search for clips from the show Unwrapped on Food Network or How as made on the Discovery Channel. Watch a clip for a product you find interesting. Companies are not likely to disclose everything about their production process and other trade secrets. When you answer the following questions, you may have to make reasonable assumptions or guesses about the manufacturing process, materials, and labor.
Basis discussion Questions
1. Describe the product that is being produced. Briefly outline the production process.
2. What direct materials are used to make this product? In general, what has happened to the cost of these materials over the past year? To find information about the price of materials, you might try one of these sources (or a combination of these sources):
3. Given what you have discovered about the cost of materials for this product, were the price variances for each material likely to be favourable or unfavourable (answer separately for each individual material)?
4. In general, what has probably occurred to the cost of direct labor for this company? Again, to find clues about its labor costs, you might try one of the options listed in question 2. If you cannot find anything specific about this company, then discuss what has happened to the cost of labor in general over the past year.
5. Given what you have discovered about the cost of labor, was the labor rate variance likely to be favourable or unfavourable?
6. It is unlikely that the company has released information about its quantity (efficiency) variances. In general, though, what could cause this company’s material quantity variances to be favourable? What could cause these material quantity variances to be unfavourable?
7. In general, what could cause this company’s labor efficiency variances to be favourable? What could cause these labor efficiency variances to be unfavourable?
