Question

1) On May 21, 2019, Christine worked 5.5 hours on Job A-1, and 3 hours on general "overhead activities." Christine is paid $12 per hour.  Overhead is applied based on $22 per direct labor hour.  Additionally, on May 21 Job A-1 requisitioned and entered into production $260 of direct material.  On May 21, Christine, while working on Job A-1 used $27 of indirect material. Indirect material is included in the overhead application rate. Use this information to determine the total cost that should have been recorded in the Work in Process for Job A-1 on May 21? Round your answer to the closest whole dollar.

2)

Bowie Sporting Goods manufactures sleeping bags. The manufacturing standards per sleeping bag, based on 5,000 sleeping bags per month, are as follows:

Direct material of 5.00 yards at $5.25 per yard

Direct labor of 3.00 hours at $16.00 per hour

Overhead applied per sleeping bag at $18.00

In the month of April, the company actually produced 4,900 sleeping bags using 25,700 yards of material at a cost of $5.70 per yard. The labor used was 11,500 hours at an average rate of $20.50 per hour. The actual overhead spending was $96,200.

Determine the materials price variance and round to the nearest whole dollar. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number. Enter an unfavorable variance as a positive number.

Answer 1

1.

Direct materials = $260

Direct labor hours worked = 5.5

Direct labor rate = $12

Direct labor cost = Direct labor hours worked x Direct labor rate

= 5.5 x 12

= $66

Overhead applied = Direct labor hours x Predetermined overhead rate

= 5.5 x 22

= $121

Total work in process of Job A-1 = Direct materials + Direct labor + Overhead applied

= 260+66+121

= $447

2.

Standard price = $5.25 per yard

Actual price = $5.70 per yard

Actual quantity = 25,700 yards

Direct materials price variance = Actual quantity x (Standard price- Actual price)

= 25,700 x (5.25 - 5.70)

= 25,700 x (-0.45)

= $11,565 unfavorable
