Question

2 Huron Company produces a commercial cleaning compound known as Zoom. The direct materials and direct labor standards for one unit of Zoom are given below: Standard Quantity or Standard Price Standard 10 points or Rate Direct materials Direct labor Houra 4.6 pounds 0.2 hours 2.50 per pound 1.50 3.60 $18.00 per hour eBlook Print References During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded: a. Twenty thousand pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $2.35 per pound. b. All of the material purchased was used to produce 4,000 units of Zoom. c. 750 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $14,925. Required: 1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month. 2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for the month. (For all requirements, Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.) 1. Materials price variance Materials quantity variance $ 3,000 4,000 S1,425 2. Labor rate variance Labor efficiency variance

Explanation / Answer

Material price variance = (2.5-2.35)*20000 = 3000 F

Material quantity variance = (4000*4.6-20000)*2.5 = 4000 U

Labour rate variance = (18*750-14925) = 1425 U

Labour efficiency variance = (4000*.20-750)*18 = 900 F
