Chapter 7, Problem 7.44P
Direct manufacturing labor variances: price, efficiency, mix, and yield. Elena Martinez employs two workers in her wedding cake bakery. The first worker, Gabrielle, has been making wedding cakes for 20 years and is paid $25 per hour. The second worker, Joseph, is less experienced and is paid $15 per hour. One wedding cake requires, on average, 6 hours of labor. The budgeted direct manufacturing labor quantities for one cake are as follows:
| Quantity | |
| Gabrielle | 3 hours |
| Joseph | 3 hours |
| Total | 6 hours |
That is, each cake is budgeted to require 6 hours of direct manufacturing labor, composed of 50% of Gabrielle’s labor and 50% of Joseph’s, although sometimes Gabrielle works more hours on a particular cake and Joseph less, or vice versa, with no obvious change in the quality of the cake.
During the month of May, the bakery produces 50 cakes. Actual direct
| Gabrielle (140 hours) | $ 3,500 |
| Joseph (165 hours) | 2,475 |
| Total actual direct labor cost | $ 5,975 |
- 1. What is the budgeted cost of direct manufacturing labor for 50 cakes?
Required
- 2. Calculate the total direct manufacturing labor price and efficiency variances.
- 3. For the 50 cakes, what is the total actual amount of direct manufacturing labor used? What is the actual direct manufacturing labor input mix percentage? What is the budgeted amount of Gabrielle’s and Joseph’s labor that should have been used for the 50 cakes?
- 4. Calculate the total direct manufacturing labor mix and yield variances. How do these numbers relate to the total direct manufacturing labor efficiency variance? What do these variances tell you?

- Firenza Company manufactures specialty tools to customer order. Budgeted overhead for the coming year is: Previously, Sanjay Bhatt, Firenza Companys controller, had applied overhead on the basis of machine hours. Expected machine hours for the coming year are 50,000. Sanjay has been reading about activity-based costing, and he wonders whether or not it might offer some advantages to his company. He decided that appropriate drivers for overhead activities are purchase orders for purchasing, number of setups for setup cost, engineering hours for engineering cost, and machine hours for other. Budgeted amounts for these drivers are 5,000 purchase orders, 500 setups, and 2,500 engineering hours. Sanjay has been asked to prepare bids for two jobs with the following information: The typical bid price includes a 40 percent markup over full manufacturing cost. Required: 1. Calculate a plantwide rate for Firenza Company based on machine hours. What is the bid price of each job using this rate? 2. Calculate activity rates for the four overhead activities.
