| Predetermined fixed MOH standard rate $8.00 per direct labor hour |
| Total budgeted fixed MOH cost $21,700 |
Actual cost and operating data from the most recent month are as follows:
| Purchased 38,400 yards at a total cost of $399,360 |
| Used 34,900 yards in producing 1,500 awnings |
| Actual direct labor cost of $34,727 for a total of 2,870 hours |
| Actual variable MOH $20,377 |
| Actual fixed MOH $26,200 |
All manufacturing overhead is allocated on the basis of direct labor hours.
Requirements
- 1. Calculate the standard cost of one awning.
- 2. Calculate the following variances:
- a. The direct material variances.
- b. The direct labor variances.
- c. The variable manufacturing overhead variances.
- d. The fixed manufacturing overhead variances.
- 3. Explain what each of the variances you calculated means and give at least one possible explanation for each of those variances. Are any of the variances likely to be interrelated?

Average labor cost for the first 700 units of a product is RO 50 and the average labor cost of first 1400 units is RO 45. Average time per unit is 100 minutes. The learning ratio and the average labour cost for first 2800 units will be:
a.
80% and RO 36.000
b.
90% and RO 40.500
c.
85% and RO 38.250
d.
95% and RO 42.750
Your company has received an order for 20 units of aproduct. Th e labor cost to produce the item is $9.50 per hour. Th esetup cost for the item is $60 and material costs are $25 per unit. Th e item is sold for $92. Th e learning rate is 80 percent. Overheadis assessed at a rate of 55 percent of unit labor cost.(a) Determine the average unit cost for the 20 units if the fi rstunit takes four hours.(b) Determine the minimum number of units that need to bemade before the selling price meets or exceeds the averageunit cost.
