Exercise 23-14 Picard Landscaping plants grass seed as the basic landscaping for business campuses. During a recent month, the company worked on three projects (Remington, Chang, and Wyco). The company is interested in controlling the materials costs, namely the grass seed, for these plantings projects In order to provide management with useful cost control information, the company uses standard costs and prepares monthly variance reports. Analysis reveals that the purchasing agent mistakenly purchased poor-quality seed for the Remington project. The Chang project, however, received higher-than-standard-quality seed that was on sale. The Wyco project received standard-quality seed However, the price had increased and a new employee was used to spread the seed Shown below are quantity and cost data for each project Actual Standard Project Remington Chang Wyco Quantity Costs Quantity Costs Total Variance 520 lbs, 400 600 $208 U 186 F 398 U $420 U $1,248 400 lbs. 1,040 1,066 1,222 880 410 1,620 470 Total variance Prepare a variance report for the purchasing department.
