1. Compute the January 2017 price and efficiency variances of direct materials and direct manufacturing labor.

2. Prepare journal entries to record the variances in requirement 1.

3. Comment on the January 2017 price and efficiency variances of Wayne Corporation.

4. Why might Wayne calculate direct materials price variances and direct materials efficiency variances with reference to different points in? time?

The Wayne Corporation manufactures lamps. It has set up the following standards per finished unit for direct materials and direct manufacturing labor: finished units. During the month, materials purchased amounted to 97,000 EEB (Click the icon to view the standards.) The number of finished units budgeted for January 2017 was 9,700; 9,650 units were actually produced. EB (Click the icon to view actual data.) Assume that there was no beginning inventory of either direct materials or lb., at a total cost of $475,300. Input price variances are isolated upon purchase. Input-efficiency variances are isolated at the time of usage. Read the requirements. Standards X Actual Data Actual results in January 2017 were as follows: Direct materials: 95,000 lb. used Direct manufacturing labor: 4,700 hours S $ 48.00 Direct materials: 10 lb. at $4.80 per lb. Direct manufacturing labor: 0.5 hour at $32 per hour 16.00 157,450 Print Done Print Done
