Yoksa Mezun muyum Corporation manufactures lamps

Accounting

Yoksa Mezun muyum Corporation manufactures lamps. It has set up the following standards per finished unit for direct materials and direct manufacturing labor.

Direct Materials       : 10 gr. at $4.50 per gr.              $ 45.00

Direct Labor            : 0.5 hour at $30 per hour          $ 15.00

The number of finished units budgeted for January 2019 was 10,000; 9,850 units were actually produced. Actual results in January 2019 were:

Direct Materials       : 98,055 gr. used

Direct Labor            : 4,900 hours                       $ 154,350

Assume that there was no beginning inventory of either direct materials or finished units. During the month, materials purchases amounted to 100 kg. at a total cost of $465,000.

  1. Compute the January 2019 price and efficiency variances of direct materials and direct labor (20 pts)
  2. Comment on the January 2019 price and efficiency variances. (10 pts)

a Direct Material Price Variance = (Actual Price - Standard Price) * Actual Quantity
  = ($4.65 - $4.50) * 100,000 gr.
  = $15,000 Unfavorable
       
  Direct Material quantity Variance = (Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity) * Standard Rate
  = (98,055 - 98,500) * $4.50
  = $2,003 Favorable
       
  Direct labor price variance = (Actual Rate - Standard Rate) * Actual hours
  = ($31.50 per hr. - $30.00 per hr.] * 4,900 hours
  = $7,350 Unfavorable
       
  Direct labor quantity variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) * Standard Rate
  = (4,900 - 4,925) * $30.00
  = $750 Favorable
       
       
3 Based on price variance, standard materials used and efficient use of direct labor which led to unfavorable
  price variance and efficiency variances are favorable because of high quality and efficient labor
