Problem 10-21 Basic Variance Analysis VitalAid Inc. manufactures a vacuum-sealed high-protein food supplement that it sells to food aid Direct materials 0.35 kg $12.00 per kg $4.20 Direct labour 0.25 hours $13.00 per hr $3.25 Variable overhead 0.50 hours $1.60 per hr $0.80 Total standard variable cost $8.25 During October, the company recorded the following activity relative to production of VitalAid: a. The company produced 4,000 packages during October. b. A total of 1,800 kilograms of material was purchased at a cost of $19,800. c.
