Exercise 21-15 Direct materials and direct labor variances LO P3 The following describes production activities of Mercer Manufacturing for the year. Actual direct materials used Actual direct labor used Actual units produced 28,000 lbs. at $4.90 per lb 8,650 hours for a total of $174,730 51.600 Budgeted standards for each unit produced are 0.50 pound of direct material at $4.85 per pound and 10 minutes of direct laborat $21.20 per hour. AH = Actual Hours SH - Standard Hours AR - Actual Rate SR Standard Rate AQ - Actual Quantity SQ - Standard Quantity AP = Actual Price SP = Standard Price (1) Compute the direct materials price and quantity variances and classify each as favorable or unfavorable, indicate the effect of each variance by selecting for favorable, unfavorable, and no variance. Round "Cost per unit" answers to 2 decimal places.) (2) Compute the direct labor rate and efficiency variances and classify each as favorable or unfavorable. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting for favorable, unfavorable, and no variance.) Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Required 1 Required 2 R=Standard Rate 2 = Actual Quantity = Standard Quantity P = Actual Price = Standard Price Compute the direct materials price and quantity variances and classify each as favorable or unfavorable. (Indicate the effect of ach variance by selecting for favorable, unfavorable, and no variance. Round "Cost per unit" answers to 2 decimal places.) e) Compute the direct labor rate and efficiency variances and classify each as favorable or unfavorable.
