Lewis Company's standard labor cost of producing one unit of Product DD is 3.50 hours at the rate of $12.00 per hour. In August, 40,400 hours of labor are incurred at a cost of $12.13 per hour to produce 11,400 units of Product DD.
(a) Evaluate the total labor variance.
(b) Evaluate the labor price and quantity variances.
(c) Determine the labor price and quantity variances, consider the standard is 3.82 hours of direct labor at $12.27 per hour.
a Costello Corporation manufactures a particular product. The standard cost per unit of product is given below.
Direct materials-3 pound plastic at $6.90 per pound $ 20.70
Direct labor-2.50 hours at $12.00 per hour 30.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 20.00
Fixed manufacturing overhead 10.00
Total standard cost per unit $80.70
The pre-evaluated manufacturing overhead rate is $12 per direct labor hour ($30.00 ÷ 2.50). It was evaluated from a master manufacturing overhead budget based on normal production of 13,500 direct labor hours (5,400 units) for the month. The master budget showed net variable costs of $108,000 ($8.00 per hour) and net fixed overhead costs of $54,000 ($4.00 per hour). Actual costs for October in producing 3,700 units were as given.
Direct materials (11,230 pounds) $ 79,845
Direct labor (9,060 hours) 110,713
Variable overhead 83,581
Fixed overhead 29,699
Total manufacturing costs $303,838
The purchasing department purchases the quantities of raw materials that are expected to be used in production every month. Raw materials inventories, thus, can be ignored.
