Superior fender, which uses a standard cost system, manufacture
20,000 boat fenders during 2018, using 141,000 square feet of
extruded vinyl purchased at $1.55 per square foot. production
required 470 direct labor hours they cost $15 per hour. The direct
materials standard was 7 square feet of vinyl per fender, and a
standard cost of $1.60 per square foot. The labor standard was .027
direct labor hour per fender, and a standard cost of $14 per hour.
State the required formulas, compute the cost variances for direct
materials and direct labor and identify whether each variance is
favorable or unfavorable. Compute the cost and efficiency variances
for direct materials and direct labor. Does the pattern of
variances suggest superior offenders managers have been making
trade-offs? Explain.
