BrightWater, LLP uses a standard costing system to collect costs related to the production of its mineral-infused water. The direct labor standard for each unit is 1.25 hours at a standard cost of $11.00 per hour. During the month of November, BrightWater’s unit production used 9,820 direct labor hours at a total direct labor cost of $106,547. This resulted in production of 8,500 units for November. What is BrightWater’s labor efficiency variance for November? Select one: a. $10,328 favorable. b. $13,047 unfavorable. c. $8,855 favorable. d. $14,520 unfavorable. e. Unable to calculate from the information given.

Regent Corporation uses a standard cost system to account for the costs of its one product. Materials standards are 3 pounds of material at $14.00 per pound, and labor standards are 9 hours of labor at a standard wage rate of $10.5. During July, Regent Corporation produced 3,050 units. Materials purchased and used totaled 10,600 pounds at a total cost of $143,213. Payroll totaled $151,780 for 38,150 hours worked. Required: a. Calculate the direct materials price variance. Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations. Indicate the effect of variance by selecting "Favorable", "Unfavorable", or "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). b. Calculate the direct materials quantity variance. Note: Indicate the effect of variance by selecting "Favorable", "Unfavorable", or "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). c. Calculate the direct materials spending variance. Note: Indicate the effect of variance by selecting "Favorable", "Unfavorable", or "None" for no effect (i.e., zero…

Kunkel Company makes two products and uses a conventional costing system in which a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate is computed based on direct labor - hours. Data for the two products for the upcoming year follow: Mercon Wurcon Direct materials cost per unit $ 12.00 $ 9.00 Direct labor cost per unit $ 15.00 $ 17.00 Direct labor - hours per unit 0.50 3.25 Number of units produced 2,000 4,000 These products are customized to some degree for specific customers. Required: 1. The company's manufacturing overhead costs for the year are expected to be $560,000. Using the company's conventional costing system, compute the unit product costs for the two products. 2. Management is considering an activity - based costing system in which half of the overhead would continue to be allocated on the basis of direct labor - hours and half would be allocated on the basis of engineering design time. This time is expected to be distributed as follows during the upcoming year: Mercon Wurcon…
