Comprehensive review of Chapters 7 and 8, working backward from given variances. The Gallo Company uses a flexible budget and standard costs to aid planning and control of its machining manufacturing operations. Its costing system for manufacturing has two direct-cost categories (direct materials and direct manufacturing labor-both variable) and two overhead-cost categories {variable manufacturing overhead and fixed manufacturing overhead, both allocated using direct manufacturing labor-hours). At the 50,000 budgeted direct manufacturing labor-hour level for August, budgeted direct manufacturing labor is SI,250,000, budgeted variable manufacturing overhead isS500,000, and budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is SI,000,000. The following actual results are for August: The standard cost per pound of direct materials is S11. 50. The standard allowance is 6 pounds of direct materials for each unit of product. During August 20,000 units of product were produced. There was no beginning inventory of direct materials. There was no beginning or ending work in process. In August, the direct materials price variance was S1. 10 per pound. In July, labor unrest caused a major slowdown in the pace of production, resulting in an unfavorable direct manufacturing labor efficiency variance of S40,000. There was no direct manufacturing labor price variance. Labor unrest persisted into August. Some workers quit. Their replacements had to be hired at higher wage rates, which had to be extended to all workers. The actual average wage rate in August exceeded the standard average wage rate by S0. 50 per hour. Compute the following for August: Total pounds of direct materials purchased Total number of pounds of excess direct materials used Variable manufacturing overhead spending variance Total number of actual direct manufacturing labor-hours used Total number of standard direct manufacturing labor-hours allowed for the units produced Production-volume variance
