The denominator level for total manufacturing overhead per month in 2017 is 37,000 direct manufacturing labor-hours. Beal’s budget for January 2017 was based on this denominator level. The records for January indicated the following:
Direct materials purchased | 40,300 lb. at $3.80 per lb. |
Direct materials used | 37,300 lb. |
Direct manufacturing labor | 31,400 hrs. at $16.25 per hr. |
Total actual manufacturing overhead (variable and fixed) | $650,000 |
Actual production | 7,600 output units |
- A. Prepare a schedule of total standard manufacturing costs for the 7,600 output units in January 2017.
Required
- B. For the month of January 2017, compute the following variances, indicating whether each is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U):
- a. Direct materials price variance, based on purchases
- b. Direct materials efficiency variance
- c. Direct manufacturing labor price variance
- d. Direct manufacturing labor efficiency variance
- e. Total manufacturing overhead spending variance
- f. Variable manufacturing overhead efficiency variance
- g. Production-volume variance
