Highland Company produces a lightweight backpack that is popular with college students. Standard variable costs relating to a single backpack are given below: Standard Cost Standard Quantity or Hours ? ? Standard Price or Rate $6.00 per yard ? per direct $ 2 labor-hour Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Total standard cost per unit $ ? ? ? ? $? Overhead is applied to production on the basis of direct labor-hours. During March, 400 backpacks were manufactured and sold. Selected information relating to the month's production is given below: Variable Materials Direct Manufacturing Used Labor Overhead Total standard cost allowed* $9, 120 $5,040 $ 960 Actual costs incurred $5,520 ? $2,620 Materials price variance ? Materials quantity variance $1,920 U Labor rate variance ? Labor efficiency variance ? Variable overhead rate ? variance Variable overhead efficiency variance ? *For the month's production. The following additional information is available for March's production: 600 Actual direct labor-hours Difference between standard and actual cost per backpack produced during March $0.20 F Required: Hint: It may be helpful to complete a general model diagram for direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead before attempting to answer any of the requirements. 1. What is the standard cost of a single backpack? 2. What was the actual cost per backpack produced during March? 3. How many yards of material are required at standard per backpack? 4.
