Question
A planning budget called for 500 units to be produced and total direct labor cost of 9,300. The spending variance is Blank______.Multiple choice question.1,800 U1,500 F$1,500 U
Solution
To calculate the spending variance, we first need to determine the standard cost per unit. This is done by dividing the total budgeted cost by the number of units expected to be produced.
So, 15 per unit.
Next, we multiply this standard cost per unit by the actual number of units produced to get the total expected cost for the actual level of output.
9,000.
The spending variance is then calculated by subtracting this expected cost from the actual cost.
9,000 (expected cost) = $300.
Since the actual cost is higher than the expected cost, this is an unfavorable variance.
So, the answer is $300 U.
