i extruded vinyl purchased at $1.05 per square foot. Production required 410 direct labor hours that cost $15.00 per Pro Fender, which uses a standard cost system, manufactured 20,000 boat fenders during 2016, using 146,000 square feet hour. The direct materials standard was seven square feet of vinyl per fender, at a standard cost of $1.10 per square foot. The labor standard was 0.026 direct labor hour per fender, at a standard cost of $14.00 per hour. Compute the cost and efficiency variances for direct materials and direct labor. Does the pattern of variances suggest Pro Fender's managers have been making trade-offs? Explain. Begin with the cost variances. Select the required formulas, compute the cost variances for direct materials and direct labor, and identify whether each variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). (Abbreviations used: AC = actual cost; AQ = actual quantity; FOH = fixed overhead; SC = standard cost; SQ = standard quantity.)
