Problem 10-14 (Static) Basic Variance Analysis [LO10-1, LO10-2, LO10-3] Becton Labs, Incorporated, produces various chemical compounds for industrial use. One compound, called Fludex, is prepared usiny an elaborate distilling process. The company has developed standard costs for one unit of Fludex, as follows: During November, the following activity was recorded related to the production of Fludex: a. Materials purchased, 12,000 ounces at a cost of $225,000. b. There was no beginning inventory of materials; however, at the end of the month, 2,500 ounces of material remained in ending inventory: c. The company employs 35 lab technicians to work on the production of Fludex. During November, they each worked an average of 160 hours at an average pay rate of $22 per hour. d. Varlable manufacturing overhead is assigned to Fiudex on the bosis of direct labor-hours. Varlable manufacturing overhead costs during November totaled $18,200. e. During November, the company produced 3,750 units of Fludex. During November, the following activity was recorded related to the production of Fludex: a.
