Question

Kansas Company uses a standard cost accounting system. In 2014, the company produced 28,100 units. Each unit took several pounds of direct materials and 1.6 standard hours of direct labor at a standard hourly rate of $12.00. Normal capacity was 50,390 direct labor hours. During the year, 131,800 pounds of raw materials were purchased at $0.91 per pound. All materials purchased were used during the year.

(a) If the materials price variance was $2,636 favorable, what was the standard materials price per pound? (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.75.) Standard materials price per pound:

(b) If the materials quantity variance was $15,429 unfavorable, what was the standard materials quantity per unit? (Round answer to 1 decimal places, e.g. 1.5.) Standard materials quantity per unit: (c) What were the standard hours allowed for the units produced? Standard hours allowed are:

(d) If the labor quantity variance was $8,280 unfavorable, what were the actual direct labor hours worked? Actual hours worked:

(e) If the labor price variance was $11,869 favorable, what was the actual rate per hour? (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.75.) Actual rate per hour:

(f) If total budgeted manufacturing overhead was $367,847 at normal capacity, what was the predetermined overhead rate? (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.75.) Predetermined overhead rate:

(g) What was the standard cost per unit of product? (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.75.) Standard cost per unit:

(h) How much overhead was applied to production during the year? Overhead applied:

(i) Using one or more answers above, what were the total costs assigned to work in process? Total costs assigned:

Explanation / Answer

(a) Material Price variance = 2636 F = 131800 ( Std. Mat. price / pound - 0.91)

  Standard materials price per pound: 0.93

(b) Material quantity variance = -15429 = 0.93 ( Std. Qty. - 131800) => Std. Quantity = 115209.7 pounds

Standard materials quantity per unit = 115209.70 / 28100 = 4.1 pounds per unit

(c) Standard hours allowed for units produced are: 28100 * 1.60 hours per unit = 44960 hours

(d) Labor quantity variance =- $8,280 = 12 (44960 - Actual hours worked)

  Actual hours worked: 45650 hours

(e) Labor price variance = $11,869 = 28100 (12 - Actual rate /hour)

Actual rate per hour: $11.60 per hour

(f) Total budgeted manufacturing overhead =$367,847 (at normal capacity). Normal capacity was 50,390 direct labor hours.

Predetermined overhead rate: $367,847 / 50,390 = $7.30 per direct labor hour

(g) Standard cost per unit:Material cost + Labor costs + Overhead costs =

=( 4.1 pounds * 0.93) + ( 1.6 hours * 12) + (1.6 hours * $7.30) = $34.69 per unit

(h) Overhead applied: Actual hours worked * predetermined overhead rate = 45650 hours * $7.30 = $333245

(i) Total costs assigned:Material cost + Labor costs + Overhead costs = (131800 * 0.91) + (45650 * 11.60) + $333245 = $982723
