ZTD tyres and tubes was using standard costing to compute its variances. Compute usage and price variance in a
scenario where variance is calculated at a point of purchase, Where variance is calculated at a point of issue on first
in first out, where variance is calculated at a point of issue on last in first out. Standard set for material consumption
was 200 kg@ 4.50 per kg. In a cost period: Opening stock was 200 kg @ 5.00 per kg. Purchase made 500 kg @ 4.30
per kg. Consumption 220 kgComputation of Material Usage Variance.

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?arrow_forward
