Question

Help Huron Company produces a commercial cleaning compound known as Zoom. The direct materials and direct labor standards for one unit of Zoom are given below: points Standard Quantity or Hours 7.80 pounds 0.30 hours Standard Price Standard or Rate Cost $2.30 per pound $17.94 $8.00 per hour $ 2.40 Skipped Direct materials Direct labor eBook During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded: Print a. 25,900.00 pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $2.10 per pound. b. All of the material purchased was used to produce 3,000 units of Zoom. C. 700 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $6,300. References Required: 1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month. 2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for the month (For all requirements, Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (ie, zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Round your intermediate calculations to the nearest whole dollar.) 1. Materials price variance Materials quantity variance Labor rate variance Labor efficiency variance

Answer 1

Materials price variance = Aalst s 25900( $2.30 – $2.10) =$5180 (Farourable) Material quantilly variance = sp(so - AQ) . = $2.30 ( (8000x 7.87 – 25900) 5-5750 = 5150 (enfavourable) Labour rate variance = = 79. AH (SR - AR) 700 ( $8 – $6300) - 100C +8-$9) = -100 = 700 (unfavorable) Labour efficiency variance = SR. (SH - AH) = $8 (2000x0.3) - 700) = +8(900-100) = $1600 (Favourable)
