The following data pertain to June operations for the Splish Company: Actual Inputs for Each Unit of Output Actual Price per Unit of Input Direct material 10 metre $8 per metre Direct labour 2 hours $9 per hour Actual output was 690 units. The Company's per unit standards call for 8.70 metres of direct material at $9.30 per metre and 3.10 hours of direct labour at $9.50 per hour. Compute the price and usage variances for direct material and direct labour.
Material variances
Standard quantity = 8.70 metre per unit
Standard price = $9.30 per metre
Actual quantity = 10 metre per unit
Actual price = $8 per metre
Actual output = 690 unit
Total actual quantity used = Actual quantity x Actual output
= 10 x 690
= 6,900 metre
Standard quantity for actual output = Standard quantity x Actual output
= 8.70 x 690
= 6,003 metre
Direct material price variance= Actual quantity x (Standard price - Actual price)
= 6,900 x (9.30-8)
= 6,900 x 1.30
= $8,970 favorable
Direct materials uses variance = Standard price x ( Standard quantity - Actual quantity)
= 9.30 x (6,003-6,900)
= 9.30 x (-897)
= $8,342.10 unfavorable
Labor variance
Standard rate = $9 per hour
Standard time = 2 hour per unit
Actual time = 3.10 hour per unit
Actual rate = $9.50 per hour
Actual output = 690 units
Total actual time used = Actual time x Actual output
= 3.10 x 690
= 2,139 hours
Standard time for actual output = Standard time x Actual output
= 2 x 690
= 1,380
Direct labor rate variance = Actual time x (standard rate- Actual rate)
= 2,139 x (9-9.50)
= 2,139 x (-0.50)
= $1,069.50 unfavorable
Direct labor usage variance = Standard rate x ( standard time- actual time)
= 9 x (1,380-2,139)
= 9 x (-759)
= $6,831 unfavorable
