Chapter 21, Problem 8E

Exercise 21-8 Standard unit cost; total variance C2

A manufactured product has the following information for June.

	Standard	Actual
Direct materials ……………	6 lbs. @ $8 per lb.	48,500 lbs. @ $8, 10 per lb.
Direct labor ………………..	2 hrs. @ $16 per hr.	15,700 hrs. @ $16, 50 per hr.
Overhead ………………….	2 hrs. @ $ 12 per hr.	$ 198,000
Units manufactured …………		8,000

Compute the (1) standard cost per unit and (2) total cost variance for June. Indicate whether the cost variance is favorable or unfavorable.

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.
