Exercise 8-15 Direct materials and direct labor variances LO P2 The following information describes production activities of Mercer Manufacturing for the year. Actual direct materials used Actual direct labor used Actual units produced 17,000 lbs. at 54.20 per lb. 5,558 hours for a total of $106,095 30.030 Budgeted standards for each unit produced are 0.50 pounds of direct material at $4.00 per pound and 10 minutes of direct labor at $20.00 per hour. AQ = Actual Quantity SQ = Standard Quantity AP = Actual Price SP = Standard Price AH = Actual Hours SH = Standard Hours AR = Actual Rate SR = Standard Rate (1) Compute the direct materials price and quantity variances (2) Compute the direct labor rate and efficiency variances.
