Direct materials and manufacturing labor variances, solving unknowns. (CPA, adapted) On May 1, 2017, Bovar Company began the manufacture of a new paging machine known as Dandy. The company installed a
| Direct materials (3 lb. at $4 per lb.) | $12.00 |
| Direct manufacturing labor (1/2 hour at $20 per hour) | 10.00 |
| Manufacturing |
7.50 |
| $29.50 |
The following data were obtained from Bovar’s records for the month of May:
| Debit | Credit | |
| Revenues | $125,000 | |
| Accounts payable control (for May’s purchases of direct materials) | 55,000 | |
| Direct materials price variance | $3,500 | |
| Direct materials efficiency variance | 2,400 | |
| Direct manufacturing labor price variance | 1,890 | |
| Direct manufacturing labor efficiency variance | 2,200 |
Actual production in May was 4,000 units of Dandy, and actual sales in May were 2,500 units.
The amount shown for direct materials price variance applies to materials purchased during May. There was no beginning inventory of materials on May 1, 2017 no beginning inventory of materials on May 1, 2017.
Compute each of the following items for Bovar for the month of May. Show your computations.
- 1. Standard direct manufacturing labor-hours allowed for actual output produced
Required
- 2. Actual direct manufacturing labor-hours worked
- 3. Actual direct manufacturing labor wage rate
- 4. Standard quantity of direct materials allowed (in pounds)
- 5. Actual quantity of direct materials used (in pounds)
