Erie Company manufactures a small CD player called the Jogging Mate. The company uses standards to control its costs. The labor standards that have been set for one Jogging Mate CD player are as follows:

Standard Hours	Standard Rate per Hour	Standard Cost
27 minutes	$6	$2.7

During August, 9,695 hours of direct labor time were needed to make 19,900 units of the Jogging Mate. The direct labor cost totaled $56,231 for the month.

Requirement 1:
(a)	What direct labor cost should have been incurred to make 19,900 units of the Jogging Mate? (Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

Standard direct labor cost

$

(b)	By how much does this differ from the cost that was incurred? (Indicate the effect of the variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

Total variance

Requirement 2:

Break down the difference in cost from Requirement 1 above into a labor rate variance and a labor efficiency variance. (Indicate the effect of the variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

Requirement 3:

The budgeted variable manufacturing overhead rate is $4.5 per direct labor-hour. During August, the company incurred $52,353 in variable manufacturing overhead cost. Compute the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances for the month. (Indicate the effect of the variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
