A hospital analyzed their patient data in the ICU and categorized patients into two types: short-term and long-term.  The standard quantities of labor and materials for each type of patient for 2011 are:

 

                                                           Short term                           Long term

Direct Material (lbs                                9                                         21

Nursing labor (hrs.)                               2.5                                          5

       

Standard price paid for direct materials (per lb.):

 $              10.00

   

Standard rate for labor (per hour):

 $              16.00

   

Variable overhead rate for ICU (per hour):

 $              30.00

   

Fixed overhead rate for ICU (per hour):

 $              40.00

   

**VOH and FOH are applied (used) on the basis of direct labor hours

     
       

Actual operating data for 2011 is as follows:

     

Total short-term patients:

4,000

   

Total long-term patients:

8000

   

Direct materials for short-term patients (in lbs.):

35,000

@ $9.50

 

Direct materials for long-term patients (in lbs.):

165,000

@ $9.50

 

Nursing labor for short-term patients (in hours):

10,200

   

Nursing labor for long-term patients (in hours):

40,500

   

Total nursing labor hours (both types of patients):

50,700

   

Total cost of Labor (includes both types of patients):

$580,350

   

 

 

Standard cost sheet -Short term patients

                                       Standard Price             Standard Usage     Standard Cost

Direct Materials                 $10                             9                              $ 90

Direct Labor                       $16                            2.5                            $40

Fixed overhead                  $40                            2.5                          $100

Total standard unit cost                                                                      $305
