Mickley Corporation produces two products, Alpha6s and Zeta7s, which pass through two operations, Sintering and Finishing. Each of the products uses two raw materials—X442 and Y661. The company uses a standard cost system, with the following standards for each product (on a per unit basis):
Raw Material | Standard Labor Time | ||||
Product | X442 | Y661 | Sintering | Finishing | |
Alpha6 | 1.2 kilos | 2.0 liters | 0.40 hours | 0.80 hours | |
Zeta7 | 3.0 kilos | 4.0 liters | 0.10 hours | 0.60 hours | |
Information relating to materials purchased and materials used in production during May follows:
Material | Purchases | Purchase Cost |
Standard Price |
Used in Production |
|||
X442 | 14,500 | kilos | $60,900 | $4.00 | per kilo | 9,000 | kilos |
Y661 | 15,500 | liters | $27,900 | $1.90 | per liter | 13,500 | liters |
The following additional information is available:
The company recognizes price variances when materials are purchased.
The standard labor rate is $21.00 per hour in Sintering and $19.50 per hour in Finishing.
During May, 1,250 direct labor-hours were worked in Sintering at a total labor cost of $28,750, and 2,900 direct labor-hours were worked in Finishing at a total labor cost of $62,350.
Production during May was 2,000 Alpha6s and 2,250 Zeta7s.
