In: Accounting
Hutto Corp. has set the following standard direct materials and
direct labor costs per unit for the product it
manufactures.
Direct materials (15 lbs. @ $3 per lb.) | $45 | |||
Direct labor (3 hrs. @ $16 per hr.) | 48 | |||
During May the company incurred the following actual costs to
produce 8,800 units.
Direct materials (135,000 lbs. @ $2.80 per lb.) | $ | 378,000 | ||
Direct labor (29,700 hrs. @ $16.10 per hr.). | 478,170 | |||
AH = Actual Hours
SH = Standard Hours
AR = Actual Rate
SR = Standard Rate
AQ = Actual Quantity
SQ = Standard Quantity
AP = Actual Price
SP = Standard Price
(1) Compute the direct materials price and
quantity variances. (Indicate the effect of each variance
by selecting for favorable, unfavorable, and no
variance.)
(2) Compute the direct labor rate variance and the
direct labor efficiency variance. (Indicate the effect of
each variance by selecting for favorable, unfavorable, and no
variance. Round "Rate per hour" answers to 2 decimal
places.)
Answer 1
MATERIAL
Given that
Standard Price | $ 3.00 |
Standard quantity | 132,000 |
Actual price | $ 2.80 |
Actual Quantity | 135,000 |
Material Price Variance = (Standard Price-Actual price)*Actual Quantity |
Material Price Variance = (3-2.8)*135000 |
Material Price Variance = $ 27000 (F) |
Material Quantity Variance = (Standard quantity-Actual Quantity)*Standard Price |
Material Quantity Variance = (132,000-135,000) * $ 3 |
Material Quantity Variance = $ 9,000 (U) |
Answer 2
LABOR
Given that
Standard rate | $ 16.00 |
Standard hours (8800*3) | 26,400 |
Actual rate | $ 16.10 |
Actual hours | 29,700 |
Labor rate Variance = (Standard rate-Actual rate)*Actual hours |
Labor rate Variance = ($ 16 - $ 16.1) * 29,700 |
Labor rate Variance = 2,970 (U) |
Labor efficiency Variance = (Standard hours - Actual hours) * Standard rate |
Labor efficiency Variance = (26,400 - 29,700) * $ 16 |
Labor efficiency Variance = $ 52,800 (U) |
