The standard unit cost of a coffee mug is based on static budget volume of 60,200 coffee mugs per​ month:

Direct Materials (0.2 lbs @ $0.25 per lb) $0.05
Direct Labor (3 minutes @ $0.10 per minute) 0.30
Manufacturing Overhead:
Variable (3 minutes @ $0.06 per minute) $0.18
Fixed (3 minutes @ $0.13 per minute)
0.39
0.57
Total Cost per Coffee Mug
$0.92
 
a.There were no beginning or ending inventory balances. All expenditures were on account.
b.Actual production and sales were 62,900 coffee mugs.
c. Actual direct materials usage was 10,000 lbs. at an actual cost of $0.17
per lb.
d. Actual direct labor usage was 202,000 minutes at a total cost of $24,240.
e. Actual overhead cost was $10,100 variable and $30,800 fixed.
f. Selling and administrative costs were $131,000.
 
Select the required​ formulas, compute the efficiency variances for direct materials and direct​ labor, and identify whether each variance is favorable​ (F) or unfavorable​ (U).
 
1)
Direct materials efficiency variance
=(AQ - SQ) × SC =
Direct labor efficiency variance
=
(AQ - SQ) × SC =
 
Now, journalize the usage of direct​ materials, including the related variance.
