Analysis Of Prime Cost And Overhead Variances
Question
You are required to conduct a detailed analysis of all the prime cost and overhead variances. You must create a fictitious company (and a fictitious cost object) which has at least three direct material categories; at least two direct labor categories and both variable and fixed overheads. Please make sure you clearly mention the standard and the actual quantity and price of all the inputs. You’re encouraged to use diagrams and flowcharts to illustrate your analysis.
In total, you’ll be analyzing 6 direct material variances (both price and efficiency variance for the three types of direct material – 3 × 2 = 6), 4 direct labor variances (both price and efficiency variance for the two types of direct labor – 2 × 2 = 4), 2 variable overhead variances (spending and efficiency variance) and 2 fixed cost variances (spending and volume variance).
You MUST make sure that any 4 out of the 6 direct material variances are unfavorable and any 1 out of 4 direct labor variances are favorable. In the end you must prepare a short report (maximum 1,000 words) of your analysis, identifying possible reasons for favorable and unfavorable variances. You’re also required to record the necessary journal entries to close all the variances.
Summary
The question belongs to Accounting and it discusses about writing an analysis on prime cost and overhead variances using a fictitious company. The analysis includes 6 direct material variances, 4 direct labor variances and 2 variable overhead variances.

I was really struggling with the Networking engineering dissertation topic, my professor asked me to work on, in my last semester. Then I came across TheReliableTutor and they really have brilliant engineering dissertation and thesis writers. The experts have worked on my Engineering Questions since then and now I am in my 7th semester and still never got below grade A in any of my Electrical Engineering Assignments.
Tracey Jones Student
The online Visual C++ programming assignment expert assigned to me by HwA for the assignment help request that I had submitted actually stuck to all the criteria that was to be met for the assignment. He was available at all times of the day in case I needed to discuss any additional points that may have been discussed in class.

I was finding it very hard to deal with the object oriented languages in the form of C++ and Java. I did well with C programming but in the latter semester I needed constant assistance from HwA and they had helped me tremendously.
Emma Williams Student
While I took occasional help for my different assignments from TheReliableTutors, I kept on wondering whether they could actually help with my dissertation paper. When I first approached them, they sounded confident and they already knew what is needed to be done. That was very relieving as even before my professor told me what to be done next, the thesis help tutor knew what to do. I have got an “A†in my master’s dissertation report and now I have assigned them by PhD thesis paper also.

I used to get really confused with the acid-based reactions and alkaline reactions when I approached HwA. From there onwards, I took regular help and got enormous benefits.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
