Direct Materials, Direct Labor, and Overhead Variances, Journal Entries Rand Company produces dry fertilizer. At the beginning of the year, Rand had the following standard cost sheet: Direct materials (8 lbs. @ $1.25) Direct labor (0.15 hr. @ $18.00) Fixed overhead (0.20 hr. @ $3.00) Variable overhead (0.20 hr. @ $1.70) Standard cost per unit Overhead rates are computed using practical volume, which is 49,000 units. The actual results for the year are as follows: a. Units produced: 53,000 b. Direct materials purchased: 408,000 pounds at $1.32 per pound c. Direct materials used: 406,900 pounds d. Direct labor: 10,500 hours at $17.95 per hour e. Fixed overhead: $36,570 f. Variable overhead: $18,000 Required: MPV MUV 28,560 Unfavorable 1. Compute price and usage variances for direct materials.
