Homework SourseAt the beginning of June Kimber Toy Company budgeted 23000 t
At the beginning of June, Kimber Toy Company budgeted 23,000 toy action figures to be manufactured in June at standard direct materials and direct labor costs as follows:
The standard materials price is $0.50 per pound. The standard direct labor rate is $9.00 per hour. At the end of June, the actual direct materials and direct labor costs were as follows:
There were no direct materials price or direct labor rate variances for June. In addition, assume no changes in the direct materials inventory balances in June. Kimber Toy Company actually produced 20,500 units during June.
Determine the direct materials quantity and direct labor time variances. Round your per unit computations to two decimal places, if required. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.
| Direct materials | $23,000 |
| Direct labor | 10,350 |
| Total | $33,350 |
Solution
Direct Material Quantity Variance $ 600 Direct Labor time variance $ 279 Workings: a. At standard, Total Costs Standard price or rate Standard Quantity or hours Budgeted production Standard Quantity or hour per unit Direct Materials $ 23,000 $ 0.50 46,000 23,000 2.00 Direct Labor $ 10,350 $ 9.00 1,150 23,000 0.05 b. Actual units produced 20500 Standard Material Quantity 20,500 x 2.00 = 41,000 Standard Labor hoours 20,500 x 0.05 = 1,025 c. There were no direct material price or labor rate variance.So, Standard Material Price or Standard labor rate is also Actual Material Price and Actual labor rate respectively. Now, Actual Costs Actual rate Actual Quantity Materials $ 21,100 $ 0.50 42,200 Labors $ 9,500 $ 9.00 1,056 d. Material Quantity Variance = (Standard Quantity-Actual Quantity)*Standard Rate = (41000-42200)*0.50 = $ 600 Unfavorable Direct labor time variance = (Standard Time -Actual Time)*Standard labor rate = (1025-1056)*9.00 = $ 279.00 Unfavorable
