Orion Corporation has established the following standards for the prime costs of one unit of its chief product, dartboards. Standard Quantity Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Direct material 6.00 pounds Direct labor 1.40 hour $2.20 per pound $13.20 $7.00 per hour $9.80 $23.00 Total During June, Orion purchased 172,000 pounds of direct material at a total cost of $397,320. The total wages for June were $290,700, 90 percent of which were for direct labor. Orion manufactured 25,000 dartboards during June, using 135,000 pounds of the direct material purchased in June and 38,250 direct-labor hours. Compute the direct material price variance for June.

The cost of direct materials transferred into the Rolling Department of Kraus Company is 3,000,000. The conversion cost for the period in the Rolling Department is 462,600. The total equivalent units for direct materials and conversion are 4,000 tons and 3,855 tons, respectively. Determine the direct materials and conversion costs per equivalent unit.
During the week of May 10, Hyrum Manufacturing produced and shipped 16,000 units of its aluminum wheels: 4,000 units of Model A and 12,000 units of Model B. The cycle time for Model A is 1.09 hours and for Model B is 0.47 hour. The following costs and production hours were incurred: Required: 1. Assume that the value-stream costs and total units shipped apply only to one model (a single-product value stream). Calculate the unit cost, and comment on its accuracy. 2. Assume that Model A is responsible for 40% of the materials cost. Calculate the unit cost for Models A and B, and comment on its accuracy. Explain the rationale for using units shipped instead of units produced in the calculation. 3. Calculate the unit cost for the two models, using DBC. Explain when and why this cost is more accurate than the unit cost calculated in Requirement 2.
Ellerson Company provided the following information for the last calendar year: During the year, direct materials purchases amounted to 278,000, direct labor cost was 189,000, and overhead cost was 523,000.

During the week of August 21, Parley Manufacturing produced and shipped 4,000 units of its machine tools: 1,500 units of Tool SK1 and 2,500 units of Tool SK3. The cycle time for SK1 is 0.73 hour, and the cycle time for SK3 is 0.56 hour. The following costs were incurred: Required: 1. Assume that the value-stream costs and total units shipped apply only to one model (a single-product value stream). Calculate the unit cost, and comment on its accuracy. 2. Assume that Tool SK1 is responsible for 60% of the materials cost. Calculate the unit cost for Tool SK 1 and Tool SK3, and comment on its accuracy. Explain the rationale for using units shipped instead of units produced in the calculation. 3. Calculate the unit cost for the two models, using DBC. Explain when and why this cost is more accurate than the unit cost calculated in Requirement 2.
