Problem 10-16 Comprehensive Variance Analysis (LO10-1, LO10-2, LO10-3] Highland Company produces a lightweight backpack that is popular with college students. Standard variable costs relating to a single backpack are given below: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate $6.00 per yard Standard Cost $? Direct materials Direct labor iwi $ per direct 2 labor-hour i Variable manufacturing overhead Total standard cost per unit Overhead is applied to production on the basis of direct labor-hours. During March, 800 backpacks were manufactured and sold. Selected information relating to the month's production is given below: Materials Used $ 19,200 $ 11,100 Direct Labor $9, 200 Variable Manufacturing Overhead $1,600 $4,740 Total standard cost allowed Actual costs incurred Materials price variance Materials quantity variance Labor rate variance Labor efficiency variance Variable overhead rate variance Variable overhead efficiency variance $ 3,000 U *For the month's production. The following additional information is available for March's production: Actual direct labor-hours Difference between standard and actual cost per backpack produced during March 1,200 0.15 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.
