•  Flexible  budget  variances  are  calculated  on  the  bases  on  actual   produc@on  and  sales  –  i.e.  180,000/-­‐  units   •  Actual  revenues  are  greater  then  expected  revenues  at  actual  sales   (flexible  budget)  volume  level.   •  Total  cost  variance  is  $1048K  U   •  Of  which  variable  cost  variance  is  $1041K  U.   •  Fixed  cost  variance  ($7K  U)  s  only  for  small  propor@on.     •  What  could  be  reason  for  the  Unfavorable  cost  variance?   –  –  –  –

•   Need  to  have  closer  look  at  Flash  memory  and  Labor.   •  Are  unfavorable  variance  due  to  price  or  usage?

•  Price  Variance      =  [AP  –  SP]  x  AQ  =  $2  x  181  k  =  $362  K  U    Actual  price  –  Std.  Price  X  Actual  QYy.    

•  Usage  Variance  

=  [AQ  –  SQ]  x  SP  =  1K  x  $  27  =  $27K  U    

•  Total  Flexible  Budget  Variances  =  Price  +  Usage   variances   • 

Actual  Price  (AP),  Actual  Quan1ty(AQ),  Standard  Price  (SP),  Standard   Quan1ty(SQ),    

•  Usage  variance  is  negligible   •  Price  variance  is  sizable   –  Did  plant  do  good  nego@a@on   –  However  Samsung  raised  the  price  by  $2  to  install   a  shield   –  Apple  has  raised  revenue  recovery  by  equal   amount   –  Revenue  variance  ($360k  F)  is  almost  offset  by   flash  memory  price  variance  ($362k  U)

•  Then  what  about  labor  cost  variance   •  How  to  compute?  Do  we  have  the  data  on   price  and  quan@ty  of  labor?  

•  Note:  Labor  rates  were  increased  by  30%   •  AP*AQ  is  30$  higher  then  SP*SQ   =  SP*AQ  =  AP*AQ/1.3   =$3092K/1.3   =$2,378K  

•  Therefore  the  price  variance  is  es@mated  to  be  $3092k-­‐$2378k  =  $  714k  U   •  Quan@ty  variance  can  be  calculated  by    Total  Labor  Cost  Variance  –  Labor   Price  Variance   =  $732k  U  -­‐  $714k  U  =  $18  k  U  

•  Unfavorable  labor  price  variance  is  due  to  plant’s  overall  unfavorable   performance  (  $688k  U)   •  Who  controls  the  price  variance?   ‘We  can  not  find  people  even  though  we  have  raised  our  factory  wages’

  Managerial  Response     –  Recovered  increase  in  price  of  memory     –  Labor  is  the  problem   •  High  labor  rates  are  due  to  a  regional  supply  and  demand  problem  

–  Danshui  is  not  able  assemble  the  target  of  200,000     IPhone4  every  month  with  one  quarter  through   –  Must  take  produc@on  volume  up   –  Labor  is  only  7%  of  total  cost  

–  Apple  has  60%  profit  margin  on  sale  of  these  phones   –  Thus  ing  on  increase  in  labor  cost  to  Apple  is  feasible.   v/s  Wal-­‐Mart  –  thin  profit  margin-­‐  is  cost  conscious   –  But  will  Apple  readily  agree  –  Is  it  good  for  them  to  get  the   planned  volume  or  fall  short  to  meet  sales  demand?   –  Can  Danshui  build  a  plant  at  low  cost  loca@on  as  Foxconn   is  doing?     •  Well  apple  contract  would  get  over  before  plant  is  complete

•  Ques@on  4.     •  Es@mate  material  price  and  usage  variances  for  flash   memories,  labor  rate  and  usage(efficiency)  variances.   (Assume  the  standard  labor  rate  is  $0.92  per  hour),  and  the   overhead  spending  variance  for  August.  

Standard  labor  rate  (SP):  $.92       Actual  labor  rate  (AP):  1.3  x  $0.92  =  $  1.196     Std.  Quan@ty  for  180,000  units  (SQ):  S13.11/$0.92  x  180K  –  2,565k  hrs   Actual  quan@ty  for  180,000  units  (AQ):  $3,092k/$1.196  =  2,585k  hrs     Hence,  the  labor  rate  variance  is     [AP-­‐SP]  x  AQ  =  ($1.196  -­‐  $0.92)  x  2,585k  =  $713  U     And  the  labor  efficiency  variance  is     [AQ-­‐SQ]  X  SP  =  (2,585k  –  2,565k)  x  0.$92  =  $18k  U     The  overhead  spending  variance  is  $7,000.
