Direct Labor Efficiency Variance, Direct Labor Mix and Yield Variances

Vet-Pro, Inc., produces a veterinary grade anti-anxiety mixture for pets with behavioral problems. Two chemical solutions, Aranol and Lendyl, are mixed and heated to produce a chemical that is sold to companies that produce the anti-anxiety pills. The mixture is produced in batches and has the following standards:

Direct Material Standard Mix Standard Unit Price Standard Cost
Aranol 3,000 gallons $4.00 per gallon $ 12,000
Lendyl 17,000 6.00 102,000
     Total 20,000 gallons $ $114,000
Yield 16,000 gallons

During March, the following actual production information was provided:

Direct Material Actual Mix
Aranol 60,000 gallons
Lendyl 140,000
     Total 200,000 gallons
Yield 166,000 gallons

Vet-Pro, Inc., also uses two different types of direct labor in producing the anti-anxiety mixture: mixing and drum-filling labor (the completed product is placed into 50-gallon drums). For each batch of 20,000 gallons of direct materials input, the following standards have been developed for direct labor:

Direct Labor Type Mix SP Standard Cost
Mixing 2,000 hrs. $14.00 $28,000    
Drum filling 1,200 9.50 11,400    
     Total 3,200 hrs. $39,400    
Yield 16,000 gallons

The actual direct labor hours used for the output produced in March are also provided:

Direct Labor Type Mix
Mixing 18,000 hrs.
Drum filling 12,000
     Total 30,000 hrs.
Yield 158,400 gallons

Required:

1. Compute the direct labor mix and yield variances. (Round standard price of yield to four significant digits and mix proportion to three significant digits. Use the rounded numbers in the subsequent computations.)

Mix variance $ Favorable
Yield variance $ Favorable

2. Compute the total direct labor efficiency variance.
