Direct Materials and Direct Labor Variances

At the beginning of June, Cornerstone Printing Company budgeted 26,000 books to be printed in June at standard direct materials and direct labor costs as follows:

The standard materials price is $0.5 per pound. The standard direct labor rate is $9 per hour. At the end of June, the actual direct materials and direct labor costs were as follows:

There were no direct materials price or direct labor rate variances for June. In addition, assume no changes in the direct materials inventory balances in June. Cornerstone Printing Company actually produced 23,400 units during June.

Determine the direct materials quantity and direct labor time variances. Round your per unit computations to two decimal places, if required. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.

Explanation / Answer

Standard pounds of materials per book=(39000/0.5)/26000= 3 pounds Standard direct labor hour per book=(9360/9)/26000= 0.04 hours Direct materials quantity variance =36200-(23400*3*0.5)= $1100 Unfavorable Direct labor time variance =8700-(23400*0.04*9)= $276 Unfavorable
