Quality Fender, which uses a standard cost system, manufactured 20,000 boat fenders during 2018, using 142,000 square feet of extruded vinyl purchased at $1.10 per square foot. Production required 430 direct labor hours that cost $12.00 per hour. The direct materials standard was seven square feet of vinyl per fender, at a standard cost of $1 15 per square foot. The labor standard was 0.025 direct labor hour per fender, at a standard cost of $11.00 per hour. Read the requirement. Begin with the cost variances. Select the required formulas, compute the cost variances for direct materials and direct labor, and identify whether each varianc is favorable (F or unfavorable (U). (Abbreviations used: AC = actual cost; AQ = actual quantity: FOH = fixed overhead; SC = standard cost; SQ = standard quantity.) Formula Variance Direct materials cost variance Direct labor cost variance %3D Requirement Compute the cost and efficiency variances for direct materials and direct labor. Does the pattern of variances suggest Quality Fender's managers have been making trade-offs? Explain.

Rubble, Inc. produced 1,100 backpacks, the company's product in 2020. The standard cost was 4 yards of cloth at a standard cost of $0.90 per yard. The accounting records show that 2,700 yards of cloth were used, and the company paid $1.15 per yard. Standard time to make the backpacks was 2 direct labor hours per unit at a standard rate of $9.80 per direct labor hours. Employees worked a total of 1,500 hours and were paid $9.15 per hour.Calculate the direct labor cost variance.

Assume that Laptop parts assembly company producing 650 laptops during 2019. The management has drawn up a standard cost plan as follows: The standard quantity of direct material is 30 parts, natural loss of parts 3%, damaged parts 1%, the standard price is $ 8/part. While the actual units used are 14,560 parts, each part $ 6. The standard direct labor time is 8 hours, and the standard number of workers is 10. Standard damaged rate is 5%, standard production stops 5%, standard work break is 1.5 hour, standard direct labor wage is 3 plus 1 as a bonus. While in fact, the direct labor hour is 31,325, the actual wage is the same as the standard price but without the bonus. The application standard rate is direct material quantity. And the application standard rate is $ 4/ part. While in actuality, the total overhead cost is $43,000. Requirements; (a) Calculate the standard and actual costs (b) Analyze the deviation for each element and provide a comment in the result of deviation.
Cinturon Corporation produces high-quality leather belts. The company's plant in Boise uses a standard costing system and has set the following standards for materials and labor: Leather (3 strips @ $5.00) Direct labor (0.25 hr. @ $8.00) Total prime cost $15.00 2.00 $17.00 During the first month of the year, the Boise plant produced 39,000 belts. Actual leather purchased was 130,000 strips at $3.40 per strip. There were no beginning or ending inventories of leather. Actual direct labor was 34,000 hours at $14.50 per hour. Required: 1. Compute the costs of leather and direct labor that should be incurred for the production of 39,000 leather belts. Materials $ 397,800 X Labor $ 493,000 X 2. Compute the total budget variances for materials and labor. Total Budget Variance Materials -397,785 X Labor -492,998 X Favorable Unfavorable 3. Conceptual Connection: Would you consider these variances material with a need for investigation? Yes
ro Fender, which uses a standard cost system, manufactured 20,000 boat fenders during 2016, using 146,000 square feet of extruded vinyl purchased at $1.05 per square foot. Production required 410 direct labor hours that cost $15.00 per hour. The direct materials standard was seven square feet of vinyl per fender, at a standard cost of $1.10 per square foot. The labor standard was 0.026 direct labor hour per fender, at a standard cost of $14.00 per hour. Compute the cost and efficiency variances for direct materials and direct labor.

W Corporation assembles handheld computers. Each handheld computer takes six hours to assemble. The following data are for August 2018: Direct materials purchased $2,650,000 Conversion costs incurred $450,000 Direct materials used $2,500,000 Conversion costs allocated $500,000 W records direct materials purchased and conversion costs incurred at actual costs. It has no direct materials variances. When finished goods are sold, the backflush costing system “pulls through” standard direct material cost ($100 per unit) and standard conversion cost ($20 per unit). W produced 25,000 finished units in August 2018 and sold 24,500 units. The actual direct material cost per unit in August 2018 was $100, and the actual conversion cost per unit was $19. Required 1- Assume W uses a JIT production system and a backflush costing system with three trigger points: _ Purchase of direct materials and incurring of conversion costs _ Completion of good finished units of product _ Sale of finished…

Can you show me how this is done? Porter Manufacturing Company uses a standard cost accounting system. In 2011, the company produced 28,000 units. Each unit took several pounds of direct materials and 2 standard hours of direct labor at a standard hourly rate of $12.00. Normal capacity was 50,000 direct labor hours. During the year, 53,965 pounds of raw materials were purchased at $1.3 per pound. All materials purchased were used during the year. If the materials price variance was $4,649 favorable, what was the standard materials price per pound? Selected Answer: 8,643 Correct Answer: 1.39 ± 0.01
