Camden Company reported a favorable direct labor rate variance of $1,443 and an unfavorable direct labor efficiency variance of $968 in July. During the same month, the company worked 4,810 direct labor hours. However, 4,730 hours should have been worked given the actual production in July based on standards set by management. What was the actual rate paid per direct labor hour in July? Round your 18. answer to the nearest penny.

Kavallia Company set a standard cost for one item at 328,000; allowable deviation is 14,500. Actual costs for the past six months are as follows: Required: 1. Calculate the variance from standard for each month. Which months should be investigated? 2. What if the company uses a two-part rule for investigating variances? The allowable deviation is the lesser of 4 percent of the standard amount or 14,500. Now which months should be investigated?
Case made 24,500 units during June, using 32,000 direct labor hours. They expected to use 31,450 hours per the standard cost card. Their employees were paid $15.75 per hour for the month of June. The standard cost card uses $15.50 as the standard hourly rate. A. Compute the direct labor rate and time variances for the month of June, and also calculate the total direct labor variance. B. If the standard rate per hour was $16.00, what would change?
Standard cost summary; materials and labor cost variances Perkins Processors Inc. produces an average of 10,000 units each month. The factory standards are 20,000 hours of direct labor and 10,000 pounds of materials for this volume. The standard cost of direct labor is 9.00 per hour, and the standard cost of materials is 4.00 per pound. The standard factory overhead at this level of production is 20,000. During the current month the production and cost reports reflected the following information: On the basis of this information: 1. Prepare a standard cost summary. 2. Calculate the materials (use the materials purchase price variance) and labor cost variances, and indicate whether they are favorable or unfavorable, using the formulas on pages 421422 and 424.
Marymount Company makes one product. In the month of April, it made 3,500 units. Workers were paid $32 per hour for labor, for a total of $718,848. The standard hours per unit are 6.4, and the standard labor wage rate is $38.40 per hour. A. What are the actual hours worked? B. What are the standard hours for the units made? C. What is the direct labor rate variance for April? D. What Is the direct labor time variance for April? E. What is the total direct labor variance for April?
The normal capacity of a manufacturing plant is 30,000 direct labor hours or 20,000 units per month. Standard fixed costs are 6,000, and variable costs are 12,000. Data for two months follow: For each month, make a single journal entry to charge overhead to Work in Process, to close Factory Overhead, and to record variances. Indicate the types of variances and state whether each is favorable or unfavorable. (Hint: You must first compute the flexible-budget and production-volume variances.)
Smith Industries uses a cost system that carries direct materials inventory at a standard cost. The controller has established these standards for the cost of one basket (unit): Smith Industries made 3,000 baskets in July and used 15,500 pounds of material to make these units. Smith Industries paid $39,370 for the 15,500 pounds of material. A. What was the direct materials price variance for July? B. What was the direct materials quantity variance for July? C. What is the total direct materials cost variance? D. If Smith Industries used 15,750 pounds to make the baskets, what would be the direct materials quantity variance?
Madison Company uses the following rule to determine whether direct labor efficiency variances ought to be investigated. A direct labor efficiency variance will be investigated anytime the amount exceeds the lesser of 12,000 or 10 percent of the standard labor cost. Reports for the past five weeks provided the following information: Required: 1. Using the rule provided, identify the cases that will be investigated. 2. Suppose that investigation reveals that the cause of an unfavorable direct labor efficiency variance is the use of lower quality direct materials than are usually used. Who is responsible? What corrective action would likely be taken? 3. Suppose that investigation reveals that the cause of a significant favorable direct labor efficiency variance is attributable to a new approach to manufacturing that takes less labor time but causes more direct materials waste. Upon examining the direct materials usage variance, it is discovered to be unfavorable, and it is larger than the favorable direct labor efficiency variance. Who is responsible? What action should be taken? How would your answer change if the unfavorable variance were smaller than the favorable?
