Becton Labs, Incorporated, produces various chemical compounds for industrial use. One compound, called Fludex, is prepared usi an elaborate distilling process. The company has developed standard costs for one ynit of Fludex, as follows: During November, the following activity was recorded related to the production of Fludex: a. Materials purchased, 11,000 ounces at a cost of $237,600. b. There was no beginning inventory of materials; however, at the end of the month, 2,650 ounces of material remained in ending inventory. c. The company employs 18 lab technicians to work on the production of Fludex. During November, they each worked an average 190 hours at an average pay rate of $10.50 per hour. d. Variable manufacturing overhead is assigned to Fludex on the basis of direct labor-hours. Variable manufacturing overhead costs during November totaled $6,200. e. During November, the company produced 3,750 units of Fludex. Required: 1. For direct materials: a. Compute the price and quantity variances. b. The materials were purchased from a new supplier who is anxious to enter into a long-term purchase contract. Would you recommend that the company sign the contract? 2. For direct labor: a. Compute the rate and efficiency variances. b. In the past, the 18 technicians employed in the production of Fludex consisted of 5 senior technicians and 13 assistants. During November, the company experimented with fewer senior technicians and more assistants in order to reduce labor costs. Would you recommend that the new labor mix be continued? 3.
