Question

Sharp Company manufactures a product for which the following standards have been set: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Direct materials 3 feet $ 5 per foot $ 15 Direct labor? hours? per hour ? During March, the company purchased direct materials at a cost of $55,650, all of which were used in the production of 3,200 units of product. In addition, 4,900 direct labor- hours were worked on the product during the month. The cost of this labor time was $36,750. The following variances have been computed for the month: Materials quantity variance $ 4,500 U Labor spending variance $ 1,650 F Labor efficiency variance $ 800 U Required: 1. For direct materials: a. Compute the actual cost per foot of materials for March. b. Compute the price variance and the spending variance. 2. For direct labor: a. Compute the standard direct labor rate per hour. b. Compute the standard hours allowed for the month's production. c. Compute the standard hours allowed per unit of product.

1a. \text{Actual Cost per Foot} = \frac{55,650}{9600} = 5.8 \text{ per foot}

1b. \text{Materials Price Variance} = (5.8 - 5) \times 11,130 = 7,080 U

1c. \text{Materials Spending Variance} = 4,500 U + 7,080 U = 11,580 U

2a. \text{Standard Direct Labor Rate per Hour} = \frac{36,750}{4,900} = 7.5 \text{ per hour}

2b. \text{Standard Hours Allowed for the Month's Production} = \frac{4,900 + 800}{7.5} = 4100 \text{ hours}

2c. \text{Standard Hours Allowed per Unit of Product} = \frac{4,100}{3,200} = 1.28 \text{ hours per unit}
