Hello Sir.
Could you please help me out in the following questions? I'd be so so grateful.
Q1.
The following information is available for X plc:
Budgeted production 13120 units
Budgeted fixed O.H $45920
Budgeted labour hours 26240
Actual production 12920 units
Actual fixed O.H $48400
Actual labour hours 25200
What is the fixed OH capacity variance?
What is the fixed OH efficiency variance?
I got 1820(F) for capacity variance but the answer states it is adverse? Can you please tell me how and why? Also please tell me how to calculate the fixed OH efficiency variance?
Q2.
A division of a company is capable of making 2 products, X and Y.
X Y
External selling price 80 100
Variable cost 60 70
Contribution 20 30
Labour hours per unit 5 10
The company has limited labour hours available , and another division requires product Y.
What is the minimum transfer price that should be charged by the division in order to achieve goal congruence?
Q3.
A contract required 100 hours of skilled labour
Labour is paid $5 per hour.
Labour is currently fully occupied making another product which is generating a contribution of $8 per unit.
Each unit of other product requires 2 hours of skilled labour.
What is the relevant cost of labour?
Q4.
A company has budgeted to sell 100000 units of its product at a price of $25 per unit. The CS ratio is 25% and the fixed costs are $375000.
What is the breakeven sales revenue and the margin of safety?
Please let me know how to solve these. Looking forward.
Thank you!

q3: $1600 is relevant labour cost.
Please confirm, is that correct?
Its 900. But how i dont know :/
Q4. margin of safety (revenue): $1,000,000
oh i got it.
$8 is contribution per unit. so we will be losing contribution of $4 per hour.
so $5 per hour we need to pay to labour and $4 is lost contribution per hour.
so new project needs 100 hrs and it becomes 100x 5+4= 900 labour cost
what's the answer of Q4?
Q4. I have calculated the Breakeven sales revenue but i can't calculate the MOS as a %. They need MOS as a % and I've no idea how to do that.
The answer is breakeven revenue $1500000 and MOS 40%.
and thank youu so much for the labour questionn.
Thank you Josy and Sehrish i got it :)
oh this was so easy :o thanks :D
what's the standard rate in q1?
Sehrish you have to calculate the OAR/ hour which is B.OH/B.Activity
45920/26240 = $1.75/hr x (26240-25200)
=1820 (A).
oh yes. thank you :)
