Karina will make 4,000 jackets with standard quantity of leather per jacket of 120.03 square inches of material @$0.25/square inch. The actual quantity of leather per jacket for those 4,000 jackets produced was 122.53 square inches of material @0.24/square inch. The standard labor to produce each jacket is one hour for each jacket with a cost of $16.50/hour. The actual labor used to produce each jacket was 1.06 hours at $16/hour. Using performance standards for the labor utilized in the manufacture of jackets, calculate the direct labor variances, including rate and efficiency variances. What is the dollar amount of the total direct labor variance? Leaving all other variables the same, if the standard rate for one hour were $17/hour, the labor rate variance would have been a favorable variance for how much? (Round to 2 decimal places.)

Use the information provided to create a standard cost card for production of one glove box switch. To make one switch it takes 16 feet of plastic-coated copper wire and 0.5 pounds of plastic material. The plastic material can usually be purchased for $20.00 per pound, and the wire costs $2.50 per foot. The labor necessary to assemble a switch consists of two types. The first type of labor is assembly, which takes 3.5 hours. These workers are paid $27.00 per hour. The second type of labor is finishing, which takes 2 hours. These workers are paid $29.00 per hour. Overhead is applied using labor hours. The variable overhead rate is $14.90 per labor hour. The fixed overhead rate is $15.60 per hour. Round to the penny, two decimal places.
