Variances, Entries, and Income Statement A summary of Martindale Company's manufacturing variance report for May follows: Direct material Direct labor Variable overhead Fixed overhead Total Standard Costs (9,200 units) $38,640 193,200 22,080 9,660 $263,580 Actual Costs (9,200 units) Variances $41,760 $3,120 U 191,760 1,440 F 23,230 1,150 U 9,660 $266,410 $2,830 U Standard materials cost per unit of product is 0.5 pounds at $8.40 per pound, and standard direct labor cost is 1.5 hours at $14.00 per hour. The total actual materials cost represents 4,800 pounds purchased at $8.70 per pound. Total actual labor cost represents 14,100 hours at $13.60 per hour. According to standards, variable overhead rate is applied at $1.60 per direct labor hour (based on a normal capacity of 15,000 direct labor hours or 10,000 units of product). Assume that all fixed overhead is applied to work-in-progress inventory.
