Question

ment 10- P10-166 Help Save & Highland Company produces a lightweight backpack that is popular with college students. Standard variable costs relating to a single backpack are given below Standard Quantity ondard Pri Cost Direct materials Direct labor $3.00 per yard per direct labor- Variable manufacturing overhead Total standard cost per unit $2 hour $ 2 Overhead is applied to production on the basis of direct labor-hours. During March, 570 backpacks were manufactured and sold Selected information relating to the month's production is given below: Varsabl aterials birect hanarácthirs Used $ 8,550 $1,596 $2,812 $6,384 Total standard cost allowed" Actual costs incurred Materials price variance Materials quantity variance Labor rate variance Labor efficiency variance Variable overhead rate variance Varlable overhead efficiency variance 6,08? s57e u For the month's production Prev 1 of 1ext e to search

Explanation / Answer

1)Total standard cost for actual output = 8550+6384+1596= 16530

Standard cost per Backpack : 16530 / 5 70 = $ 29

2)Actual cost per backpack =standard cost - favorable variance

= 29- .20

= $ 28.80 per backpack

3)Standard material cost per backpack : material cost /number of units

          = 8550 / 570

             = 15 per backpack

Yards required per backpack = 15/3 = 5 yards per backpack.

4)material quantity variance = SR[AQ-SQ]

         570 = 3 [AQ-(5*570)]

         570/3 = [AQ- 2850]

         190+2850 =AQ

         AQ= 3040

material price variance = actual cost- [AQ*SR]

            = 6080 - [3040*3]

                 6080 - 9120

                  - 3040 F
