For the month of April, compute the variances, indicating whether it is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U)
Q.Variable manufacturing

Transcribed Image Text:Eric Williams is a cost accountant and
business analyst for Diamond Design Company (DDC), which manufactures expensive brass doorknobs.
DDC uses two direct-cost categories: direct materials and direct manufacturing labor. Williams feels that
manufacturing overhead is most closely related to material usage. Therefore, DDC allocates manufacturing
overhead to production based upon pounds of materials used.
At the beginning of 2017, DDC budgeted annual production of 420,000 doorknobs and adopted the fol-
lowing standards for each doorknob:
Input
0.3 lb. @ $10/lb.
1.2 hours @$17/hour
Cost/Doorknob
Direct materials (brass)
$ 3.00
Direct manufacturing labor
Manufacturing overhead:
20.40
$5/lb. x 0.3 lb.
$15/lb. x 0.3 Ib.
Variable
1.50
Fixed
4.50
Standard cost per doorknob
$29.40

Transcribed Image Text:Actual results for April 2017 were as follows:
Production
Direct materials purchased
Direct materials used
Direct manufacturing labor
Variable manufacturing overhead
Fixed manufacturing overhead
29,000 doorknobs
12,400 lb. at $11/lb.
8,500 lbs.
29,200 hours for $671,600
$ 65,100
$158,000
