- H.J. Heinz Company uses standards to control its materials costs. Assume that a batch of ketchup (7,650 pounds) has the following standards: The actual materials in a batch may vary from the standard due to tomato characteristics. Assume that the actual quantities of materials for batch 08-99 were as follows: a. Determine the standard unit materials cost per pound for a standard batch. b. Determine the direct materials quantity variance for batch 08-99.arrow_forwardMaking journal entries Assume that during the month of April the production report of Algonquin Adhesives Inc. in E8-10 revealed the following information: Make journal entries to charge materials (use the materials purchase price variance) and labor to Work in Process. (Remember to retrieve the standard costs from E8-10 before solving this exercise.)arrow_forwardGlacier Bicycle Company manufactures commuter bicycles from recycled materials. The following data for October are available: a. Determine for October the direct labor rate variance, direct labor time variance, and total direct labor cost variance. b.

- Botella Company produces plastic bottles. The unit for costing purposes is a case of 18 bottles. The following standards for producing one case of bottles have been established: During December, 78,000 pounds of materials were purchased and used in production. There were 15,000 cases produced, with the following actual prime costs: Required: 1. Compute the materials variances. 2. Compute the labor variances. 3.

Each of the products uses two raw materials—X442 and Y661. The company uses a standard cost system, with the following standards for each product (on a per unit basis): The following additional information is available: a. The company recognizes price variances when materials are purchased. b. The standard labor rate is $19.80 per hour in Sintering and $19.20 per hour in Finishing. c. During May, 1,200 direct labor-hours were worked in Sintering at a total labor cost of $27,000, and 2,850 direct labor-hours were worked in Finishing at a total labor cost of $59,850. d. Production during May was 1,500 Alpha6s and 2,000 Zeta 7s. Required: 1. Prepare a standard cost card for each product, showing the standard cost of direct materials and direct labor. 2. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for each material. 3.…arrow_forwardPlease help me with all answers thankuarrow_forward
- 1. For direct materials: a. Compute the price and quantity variances. b. The materials were purchased from a new supplier who is anxious to enter into a long- term purchase contract. Would you recommend that the company sign the contract? Explain. 2. For labor employed in the production of Fruta: a. Compute the rate and efficiency variances. b. In the past, the 10 persons employed in the production of Fruta consisted of 4 senior workers and 6 assistants. During June, the company experimented with 5 senior workers and 5 assistants. Would you recommend that the new labor mix be continued? Explain. 3. Compute the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances.
