Box Springs, Inc., makes two sizes of box springs: twin and double. The direct material for the twin is $25 per unit and $40 s used in direct labor, while the direct material for the double is $40 per unit, and the labor cost is $50 per unit. Box Springs estimates it will make 5,000 twins and 9,000 doubles in the next year. It estimates the overhead for each cost pool and cost driver activities as follows: How much does each unit cost to manufacture?
Bobcat uses a traditional cost system and estimates next years overhead will be $800.000, as driven by the estimated 25,000 direct labor hours. It manufactures three products and estimates the following costs: If the labor rate is $30 per hour, what is the per-unit cost of each product?

Nolan Mills uses a standard cost system. During May, Nolan manufactured 15,000 pillowcases, using 27,400 yards of fabric costing $3.05 per yard and incurring direct labor costs of $18,297 for 3,210 hours of direct labor. The standard cost per pillowcase assumes 1.75 yards of fabric at $3.10 per yard, and 0.20 hours of direct labor at $5.95 per hour. a. Compute both the price variance and quantity variance relating to direct materials used in the manufacture of pillowcases in May. b. Compute both the rate variance and efficiency variance for direct labor costs incurred in manufacturing pillowcases in May. (For all requirements, Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "Favorable" or "Unfavorable". Select "None" and enter "0" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
