Problem 11-14 Basic Variance Analysis (LO11-1, LO11-2. LO11-3] Becton Labs, Inc. produces various chemical compounds for industrial use. One compound, called Fludex, is prepared using an elaborate disting process. The company has developed standard costs for one unit of Fiudex as follows Standard Price Standard Standard antity Direct materials 210 CS 52400 per onge $50.40 Direct labor 0.40 hours $ 1400 per hour 5.60 Variablementaturing overhead 0.40 hours $ 2.50 por hour During November, the following activity was recorded relative to production of Fox a. Materials purchased 11 500 Ounces at a cost of $259.326 b. There was no boginning inventory of materiais, however at the end of the month 2,700 Ounces of material remained in onding inventory c. The company employs 23 labs technicians to work on the production of Fudex During November, they worked on average of 100 hours at an average rate of $11.00 per hour. d.
