Shade Company adopted a standard cost system several years ago. The standard costs for direct labor and direct materials for its single product are as follows: Materials (5 kilograms × $12.00/kilogram) = $60.00/unit; direct labor (3.5 hours/unit × $20.00/hour) = $70.00/unit. All materials are issued at the beginning of processing. The operating data shown below were taken from the records for December: In-process beginning inventory None In-process ending inventory—80% complete as to labor 960 units Units completed during the period 6,700 units Budgeted output 7,200 units Purchases of materials (in kilograms) 40,000 Total actual direct labor cost incurred $ 528,410 Direct labor hours worked (AQ) 26,500 hours Materials purchase-price variance $ 1,600 favorable Increase in materials inventory in December 1,550 kilograms The direct labor efficiency variance for December, to the nearest dollar, was:

Definition Definition System of assigning an estimated cost to the product (instead of the actual cost) so that the product cost can be determined well in advance and the pricing of the product can be done on time. Since the actual cost cannot be predicted at the initial stage of the production process, the estimated cost is recorded in the books. Any deviation of the estimated cost of the actual cost is adjusted in the books at the end of the period.
