2, E7-29 (similar to) Part 1 of 8 HW Score: 19.09%, 3.82 of 20 points Points: 0 of 4 Save Assume that there was no beginning inventory of either direct materials or finished units. During the month, materials purchased amounted to 98,900 lb., at a total cost of $489,555. Input price variances are isolated upon purchase. Input-efficiency variances are isolated at the time of usage. Read the requirements. = Homework: Chapter 7 Homework The Sullivan Corporation manufactures lamps. It has set up the following standards per finished unit for direct materials and direct manufacturing labor: (Click the icon to view the standards.) The number of finished units budgeted for January 2017 was 9,890; 9,850 units were actually produced. (Click the icon to view actual data.) Requirement 1. Compute the January 2017 price and efficiency variances of direct materials and direct manufacturing labor. Let's begin by calculating the actual input at the budgeted price. (Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar.) Standards Direct materials (purchases) Direct materials (usage) Direct manufacturing labor Actual input x Budgeted price = x Actual Data Actual results in January 2017 were as follows: Direct materials: 97,000 lb. used x x L - Cost Requirements Direct manufacturing labor: 4,800 hours $ 145,200 1. Print Done Direct materials: 10 lb. at $4.80 per lb. $ 48.00 Direct manufacturing labor: 0.5 hour at $29 per hour 14.50 Print Done 2. 3. Compute the January 2017 price and efficiency variances of direct materials and direct manufacturing labor. Prepare journal entries to record the variances in requirement 1. Comment on the January 2017 price and efficiency variances of Sullivan Corporation. 4. Why might Sullivan calculate direct materials price variances and direct materials efficiency variances with reference to different points in time
