*Applied to Work in Process during the period.
The company's manufacturing overhead cost is applied to production on the basis of direct labor-hours. All of the materials purchased during the period were used in production. Work in process inventories are insignificant and can be ignored.
Required:
1. How many units were produced last period?
2. How many pounds of direct material were purchased and used in production?
3. What was the actual cost per pound of material? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
4. How many actual direct labor-hours were worked during the period?
5. What was the actual rate paid per direct labor-hour? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
6. How much actual variable manufacturing overhead cost was incurred during the period?

Ans:
1. No of units produced = Total standard cost/standard cost per unit = 707,940/37.26 = 19,000 units
2. Pounds of direct material purchased and used in production :
Material quantity variance = (standard quantity-actual quantity)standard price
-32400 = (19000*2.30-X)16.20
-33200 = (43,700-x)16.20
-33200 = 707,940-16.20 X
16.20X = 741,140
X(actual quantity purchased and used) = 45,749 pounds
3. Actual cost per pound :
material price variance = (standard price-actual price)actual quantity
13,253 = (16.20-X)45,749
13,253 = 741134-45749 X
45,749 X = 727,881
X(actual cost per pound) = 15.91
4.) calculate actual direct labor hours worked :
Direct labor efficiency variance = (standard hours-actual hours)standard rate
-15400 = (19000-X)15.40
-15300 = 292,600-15.40 X
15.40 X = 307,900
x(actual direct labor hours) = 19,994 Hours
5. Actual rate per direct labor hour :
Labour rate variance = (standard rate-actual rate)actual hours
-4,000 = (15.40-X)19,994
-4,000 = 307,908-19,994 x
19,994X = 311,908
X)(actual rate per direct labor hour) = 15.60 per hour
6) actual variable overhead cost :
Actual variable overhead = standard overhead+Unfavorable variance
= 180,500+4,743
Actual variance overhead = 185,243
*(19,000-19,994)*9.50
=-994*9.50
= -9,443
Unfavorable variance= -9443+4700
= 4,743
