Root manufactures coffee mugs that it sells to other companies for customizing with their own logos, Root prepares flexible budgets and uses a standard cost system to control manufacturing costs. The standard unit cost of a coffee mug is based on static budget volume of 59,900 coffee mugs per month: Click the icon to view the cost data.) Actual cost and production information for July 2018 follows: (Click the icon to view actual cost and production information.) Read the requirements Requirement 1. Compute the cost and efficiency variances for direct materials and direct labor. 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.) Formula Variance Direct materials cost variance Direct labor cost variance Data Table $ 0.05 0.36 Direct Materials (0.2 lbs @ $0.25 per lb) Direct Labor (3 minutes @ $0.12 per minute) Manufacturing Overhead: Variable (3 minutes @ $0.04 per minute) Fixed (3 minutes @ $0.15 per minute) $ 0.12 0.45 0.57 Total Cost per Coffee Mug $ 0.98 Print Done More Info a. There were no beginning or ending inventory balances. All expenditures were on account. b. Actual production and sales were 62,600 coffee mugs. c. Actual direct materials usage was 10,000 lbs. at an actual cost of $0.17 per Ib. d. Actual direct labor usage was 199,000 minutes at a total cost of $29,850. e. Actual overhead cost was $5,970 variable and $34,430 fixed. f. Selling and administrative costs were $131,000. Print Done - Requirements 1. Compute the cost and efficiency variances for direct materials and direct labor. 2. Journalize the purchase and usage of direct materials and the assignment of direct labor, including the related variances. 3. For manufacturing overhead, compute the variable overhead cost and efficiency variances and the fixed overhead cost and volume variances. 4. Journalize the actual manufacturing overhead and the allocated manufacturing overhead. Journalize the movement of all production costs from Work-in-Process Inventory. Journalize the adjusting of the Manufacturing Overhead account. 5. Root intentionally hired more highly skilled workers during July. How did this decision affect the cost variances? Overall, was the decision wise? Print Done Question 16, P23-28A (si...
