Direct Materials and Direct Labor Variances
At the beginning of June, Kimber Toy Company budgeted 11,000 toy action figures to be manufactured in June at standard direct materials and direct labor costs as follows:
Direct materials | $11,000 |
Direct labor | 10,010 |
Total | $21,010 |
The standard materials price is $0.50 per pound. The standard direct labor rate is $13.00 per hour. At the end of June, the actual direct materials and direct labor costs were as follows:
Actual direct materials | $10,400 |
Actual direct labor | 9,500 |
Total | $19,900 |
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 10,100 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 quantity variance | $ | |
Direct labor time variance | $ |
1) calculate direct material quantity variances
direct material quantity variances=(standard quantity - actual quantity)× standard price
standard quantity =$11000/$0.5/11000×10100 =
20200
actual quantity = $10400/$0.5= 20800
Direct material quantity variances =(20200 - 20800)×$0.5 = 300( unfavorable)
2) calculate direct labour time variances
direct labour time variances =(standard hours - actual hours)× standard rate
standard hours =$10010/13/11000×10100 = 707
actual hours = $9500/13 = 730.77
direct labour time variances = (707 - 730.77)× $13 = 309(unfavorable)
