Materials Mix and Yield Variances
Plano Products manufactures a wide variety of chemical compounds and liquids for industrial uses. The standard mix for producing a single batch of 100 liters of its biggest selling product is as follows:
There is a standard 20 percent loss in liquid volume during processing due to evaporation. The finished liquid is put into 10-liter containers for sale. Thus, the
The actual quantities of direct materials and the cost of the materials placed in production during September were as follows (materials are purchased and used at the same time):
A total of 8,000 containers (80,000 liters) were produced during September.
Required
Calculate the total direct material variance for the liquid product for the month of September and then further analyze the total variance into:
- a. Materials price and efficiency variances.
- b. Materials mix and yield variances.

- Buenolorl Company produces a well-known cologne. The standard manufacturing cost of the cologne is described by the following standard cost sheet: Management has decided to investigate only those variances that exceed the lesser of 10% of the standard cost for each category or 20,000. During the past quarter, 250,000 four-ounce bottles of cologne were produced. Descriptions of actual activity for the quarter follow: a. A total of 1.35 million ounces of liquids was purchased, mixed, and processed. Evaporation was higher than expected. (No inventories of liquids are maintained.) The price paid per ounce averaged 0.42. b. Exactly 250,000 bottles were used. The price paid for each bottle was 0.048. c. Direct labor hours totaled 48,250, with a total cost of 733,000. Normal production volume for Buenolorl is 250,000 bottles per quarter. The standard overhead rates are computed by using normal volume. All overhead costs are incurred uniformly throughout the year. (Note: Round unit costs to the nearest cent and total amounts to the nearest dollar.) Required: 1. Calculate the upper and lower control limits for materials and labor. 2.
