Lynx Corp. manufactures windows and doors. Lynx has been using a standard cost system that bases cost and efficiency standards on Lynx’s historical long-run average performance. Suppose Lynx’s controller has engaged your team of management consultants to advise him or her whether Lynx should use some basis other than historical performance for setting standards. Requirements List the types of variances you recommend that Lynx compute (for example, direct materials cost variance for glass). For each variance, what specific standards would Lynx need to develop? In addition to cost standards, do you recommend that Lynx develop any nonfinancial standards? There are many approaches to setting standards other than simply using long-run average historical costs and quantities. a. List three alternative approaches that Lynx could use to set standards, and explain how Lynx could implement each alternative. b. Evaluate each alternative method of setting standards, including the pros and cons…

Think It Through: Don't "Skirt" the Issue E open You run a fabric store and order materials through a supplier. At the end of the month, you review your materials cost and discover that your direct materials price and quantity variances produced unfavorable results. What could be attributed to these unfavorable outcomes? How would these unfavorable outcomes impact the total direct materials variance?
Identifying favorable and unfavorable variances. Tred-America, Inc., manufactures tires for large auto companies. It uses standard costing and allocates variable and xed manufacturing overhead based on machine-hours. For each independent scenario given, indicate whether each of the manufacturing variances will be favorable or unfavorable or, in case of insufficient information, indicate “CBD” (cannot be determined).
Assume a company purchased direct material at less than its normal price but it was of such poor quality that the workers struggled significantly to make it into the finished product. So to try to make up for some of the time lost, the manufacturing supervisor brought in more senior level workers from another part of the factory. Given these two situations, which of the following variances would likely occur? Multiple Choice An unfavorable material quantity variance and a favorable material price variance. A favorable material quantity variance and an unfavorable material price variance. A favorable material quantity variance and a favorable labor rate variance. A favorable labor rate variance and an unfavorable labor efficiency variance. A favorable labor efficiency variance and a favorable labor rate variance.
Sommers Company uses the following rule to determine whether materials usage variances should be investigated: A materials usage variance will be investigated anytime the amount exceeds the lesser of 12,000 or 10% of the standard cost. Reports for the past 5 weeks provided the following information: Required: 1. Using the rule provided, identify the cases that will be investigated. 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Suppose investigation reveals that the cause of an unfavorable materials usage variance is the use of lower-quality materials than are normally used. Who is responsible? What corrective action would likely be taken? 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Suppose investigation reveals that the cause of a significant unfavorable materials usage variance is attributable to a new approach to manufacturing that takes less labor time but causes more material waste. Examination of the labor efficiency variance reveals that it is favorable and larger than the unfavorable materials usage variance. Who is responsible? What action should be taken?
