Chapter 7, Problem 7.29E
Price and efficiency variances,
| Direct materials: 10 lb. at $4.50 per lb. | $45.00 |
| Direct manufacturing labor: 0.5 hour at $30 per hour | 15.00 |
The number of finished units budgeted for January 2017 was 10,000; 9,850 units were actually produced. Actual results in January 2017 were as follows:
| Direct materials: 98,055 lb. used | |
| Direct manufacturing labor: 4,900 hours | $154,350 |
Assume that there was no beginning inventory of either direct materials or finished units.
During the month, materials purchased amounted to 100,000 lb., at a total cost of $465,000. Input price variances are isolated upon purchase. Input-efficiency variances are isolated at the time of usage.
- 1. Compute the January 2017 price and efficiency variances of direct materials and direct manufacturing labor.
- 2. Prepare journal entries to record the variances in requirement 1.
- 3. Comment on the January 2017 price and efficiency variances of Schuyler Corporation.
- 4. Why might Schuyler calculate direct materials price variances and direct materials efficiency variances with reference to different points in time?
