The Port Pirie plant of Lewis Manufacturing Limited produces waffle irons for domestic use. These waffle irons sell for $50.00 each. The plant uses a standard cost system for production costing and control purposes. The standard product costs assigned to a waffle iron appears in the image.

The Port Pirie plant’s planned production and budgeted sales for the coming year was 45,000 waffle irons. The basis for the standard variable overhead rate and the standard fixed overhead rate was planned annual production expressed in standard direct labour hours (i. e. 36,000 direct labour hours in total).

During the year, the Port Pirie plant experienced the following actual production
activity.
i. Production of waffle irons totalled 50,000 units. All of these waffle irons sold at
a price of $50 each.
ii. The Port Pirie plant purchased a total of 130,000 kilogram of raw materials at a
cost of $3.70 per kilogram during the year.
iii. There were 25,000 kilograms of raw materials in beginning inventory carried at
a cost of $4.00 per kilogram. There was no ending inventory of raw materials.
iv. The plant used 41,000 direct labour hours at a total cost of $533,000.
v. Actual fixed overhead totalled $95,000.
vi. Actual variable overhead totalled $250,000.

Required
(a) Present the sales and cost volume variances in a tabular format.
(b) Present the flexible budget variances in a tabular format.
(c) Compute the raw materials price and usage variances.
(d) Compute the direct labour price and usage variances.
(e) Compute the variable overhead price and usage variances. Explain the
relationship between the variable overhead price and usage variances and the
direct labour price and usage variances. Comment on the usefulness of the
variable overhead price and usage variances.
(f) Compute the fixed overhead spending and volume variances. Interpret the fixed overhead spending and volume variances.
Assume the purchasing agent for the Port Pirie plant purchased a lower-quality
raw material from a new supplier. Would you recommend that the Port Pirie
plant continue to use this cheaper raw material? If so, what standards would
need revision to reflect the decision to continue with the cheaper/lower-quality
raw material? The quality of the finished waffle irons remains unaffected even
if the Port Pirie plant uses the new supplier.

The new york times (nov. 30, 1993) reported that “the inability of opec to agree last week to cut production has sent the oil market into turmoil . . [leading to] the lowest price for domestic crude oil since june 1990.” why were the members of opec trying to agree to cut production? so they could save more oil for future consumption so they could lower the price so they could raise the price why do you suppose opec was unable to agree on cutting production? because each country has a different production capacity because each country experiences different production costs because each country has an incentive to cheat on any agreement the newspaper also noted opec’s view “that producing nations outside the organization, like norway and britain, should do their share and cut production.” what does the phrase “do their share” suggest about opec’s desired relationship with norway and britain? opec would like norway and britain to keep their production levels high. opec would like norway and britain to act competitively. opec would like norway and britain to join the cartel.
