Review: Flexible Budget

Flexible budget

is prepared based on the

actual

activity level and is used for performance evaluation (

control

) purpose.

Activity Variance

= Flexible budget amount – planning (static) budget amount

Spending Variance

= Actual cost – flexible budget cost Spending variance is unfavorable if positive, favorable if negative; Spending variance captures the efficiency of cost control.

Revenue Variance

= Actual revenue – flexible budget revenue Revenue variance is favorable if positive, unfavorable if negative;

Review: Standard Cost

 Standard vs. Budget: • • A A

budget

is set for

standard total

is set for costs;

per unit

cost; 

Quantity standards

are set for each unit of

production

(

How much units of input are needed for each unit of output?)

SQ = standard quantity of materials allowed for the actual output SH = standard hours allowed for the actual output

Price standards

are set for each unit of

input

(How much should be paid for each unit of input?)

Standard Price (SP) for materials Standard Rate (SR) for labor and overhead

Review: Variance Analysis

Materials Price Variance AQ(AP - SP) Labor/VOH Rate Variance AH(AR – SR) Materials Quantity Variance SP(AQ - SQ) Labor/VOH Efficiency Variance SR(AH – SH)

AP (AR) = Actual Price (Actual Rate) : the amount actually paid for each unit of the materials (labor or VOH).

SP (SR) = Standard Price (Standard Rate) : the amount that should Have been paid for each unit of the materials (labor or VOH).

AQ (AH) = Actual Quantity (Actual Hour) : the amount of materials (labor or VOH activity) actually used in the production.

SQ (SH) = Standard Quantity (Stan. Hour) allowed for the actual output =

actual production in units

* standard quantity (hours) per unit

Review: Materials Variances

When material purchased ≠ material used To compute the

PRICE

quantity of raw materials variance, use the total

PURCHASED.

To compute the

QUANTITY

quantity of raw materials Variance, use only the

USED.

Example: Labor Variances

Bella has the following direct labor standard to manufacture one Zippy: 1.5 standard hours per Zippy at $6.00 per direct labor hour.

Last week 1,550 direct labor hours were worked at a total labor cost of $9,610 to make 1,000 Zippies.

Q: (1)What was Bella’s actual rate for labor for the week?

(2) What was Bella’s labor rate variance for the week?

(3) What is the standard hours of labor that should have been worked to produce 1,000 Zippies?

(4)What was Bella’s labor efficiency variance for the week?

Responsibility for Labor Variances

Production managers are usually held accountable for labor variances because they can influence the:

Mix of skill levels assigned to work tasks. Level of employee motivation.

Production Manager Quality of production supervision.

Quality of training provided to employees.

Practice Problem: Labor Variances

Osborne Co. has the following DL standards to produce each unit of horn:

5 direct labor hours at $20 per hour

. In May, the actual hourly rate for direct labor is $22, with the labor variances reported below: Labor rate variance $30,400 U Labor efficiency variance $4,000 U Q: How many horns did Osborne Co. produce in May?

Practice Problem: Labor Variances

Foster Inc.’s direct labor standard for each unit of product is 3 hours at $8 per hour. In April, total direct labor cost of $240,000 was paid to make 10,000 units of product.

Labor rate variance

is $16,000 F.

Q: What is Foster Inc.’s

labor efficiency variance

April?

in

Example: Variable OH Variances

Cola Co’s Variable OH is applied based on machine hours. The standard allows for 3,200 machine hours for the actual production in March. In March, actual machine hours worked were 3,300, actual variable OH incurred was $6,740, and the variable OH efficiency variance was $200 U.

Q: What is the amount of variable OH rate variance?

Chapter 12 Segment Reporting

Learning Objectives

– Understand performance evaluation tools for cost center, profit center and investment center – Prepare a segmented income statement – Compute ROI and Residual Income – Understand the pros and cons of performance evaluation using ROI, Residual Income and the Balanced Scorecard.

Decentralization and Segments

An Individual Store Quick Mart

A

segment

is any part or activity of an organization about which a manager seeks cost, revenue, or profit data. A segment can be . . .

A Sales Territory A Service Center

Evaluating Managers’ Performance

Cost Center

( controls costs only )

Profit Center

(controls costs & revenues )

Investment Center

(controls costs & revenues & Investments )

Evaluation Tool

Flexible Budget Variances; Standard Cost Variances Segmented Income Statement ( Segment Margin ) Return on Investment (ROI); Residual Income

Segmented Income Statement

There are two keys to building segmented income statements:

A contribution format should be used because it separates fixed from variable costs and it enables the calculation of a contribution margin .

Traceable fixed costs should be separated from common fixed costs to enable the calculation of a segment margin .

Identifying Traceable Fixed Costs

Traceable fixed costs

arise because of the existence of a particular segment and would disappear if the segment itself disappeared.

No computer division means . . .

No computer division manager.

Identifying Common Fixed Costs

Common fixed costs

arise because of the overall operation of the company and would not disappear if any particular segment was eliminated.

No computer division but . . .

We still have a company president.

Segmented Income Statement

Sales - Variable Expenses

Contribution Margin

- Traceable Fixed costs

Segment Margin

 Do NOT subtract Common fixed costs!!

 Segment margin is a valuable tool for performance evaluation and is also useful in decisions such as dropping or retaining a segment.

Example: Segmented Income Statements

Segment reporting uses the

contribution

format.

Income Statement Television Division Sales Variable COGS Other variable costs Total variable costs Contribution margin Traceable fixed costs Segment margin $ 300,000 120,000 30,000 150,000 150,000 90,000 $ 60,000 Contribution margin is computed by taking sales minus variable costs.

Segment margin is Television Division’s contribution to profits.

Example: Segmented Income Statements

Sales Variable costs CM Traceable FC Segment margin Common FC Net operating income Income Statement Company $ 500,000 230,000 270,000 170,000 100,000 25,000 $ 75,000 Television $ 300,000 150,000 150,000 90,000 $ 60,000 Computer $ 200,000 80,000 120,000 80,000 $ 40,000 Common fixed costs should not be allocated to the divisions. These costs would remain even if one of the divisions were eliminated.

Practice Problem

Revenue from Clients Variable expenses Contribution margin Traceable fixed expenses Segment margin Common fixed expenses Net operating income Company

$1000,000 220,000 780,000 670,000 $ 110,000 60,000 $ 50,000

$400,000 100,000 300,000 280,000 $ 20,000 24,000 $ (4,000)

Commercial Law Division

Q: (1) Would the firm be better off financially if family law division were dropped? Prepare segmented income statements to support your answer.

(2) Managers propose that an ad campaign costing $20,000 will increase family law revenue by $100,000. If other expenses and revenues remain constant, how would this proposal affect the family law segment margin and the firm’s overall NOI?

Practice Problem

Bolvine Co. had a net loss of $10,000 in May. The CEO asked for a segmented monthly income statement to isolate the problem.

Sales Variable expense ratio Traceable fixed expenses Division A $400,000 50% $240,000 Division B $600,000 30% $330,000 Q: (1) Prepare a segmented income statement by divisions.

(2) What is the amount of common fixed costs for the company?

(3)The manager of Division B proposes that new segment margin for Division B?

an increase of $20,000 in the division’s monthly advertising costs will increase Division B sales by 10%. If this plan is adopted, what would be the

Homework Problem 1

Xavier Co. applies MOH based on direct labor hours. The standard costs for one unit of product are as follows: Direct Material: 6 ounces at $0.50 per ounce Direct Labor: 1.8 hours at $10 per hour Variable MOH: 1.8 hours at $5 per hour 2,000 units were produced in June with the following cost data: Material purchased: 18,000 ounces at $0.6 per ounce Material used in production: 14,000 ounces Direct labor: 4,000 hours at $9.75 per hour Variable MOH cost: $20,800 Q: Compute materials, labor and VOH variances.
