SkyChefs, Incorporated, prepares in-flight meals for a number of major airlines. One of the company's products is grilled salmon with new potatoes and mixed vegetables. During the most recent week, the company prepared 4,800 of these meals using 882 direct labor-hours. The company paid its direct labor workers a total of $10,143 for this work, or $11.50 per hour. According to the standard cost card for this meal, it should require 0.20 direct labor-hours at a cost of $10.50 per hour. Required: 1. What is the standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to prepare 4,800 meals? 2. What is the standard labor cost allowed (SH x SR) to prepare 4,800 meals? 3. What is the labor spending variance? 4. What is the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance? (For requirements 3 and 4, indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.) 1. Standard labor-hours allowed 2. Standard labor cost allowed 3. Labor spending variance 4. Labor rate variance 4. Labor efficiency variance Logistics Solutions provides order fulfillment services for dot.com merchants. The company maintains warehouses that stock items carried by its dot.com clients. When a client receives an order from a customer, the order is forwarded to Logistics Solutions, which pulls the item from storage, packs it, and ships it to the customer. The company uses a predetermined variable overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. In the most recent month, 190,000 items were shipped to customers using 8,300 direct labor-hours. The company incurred a total of $29,050 in variable overhead costs. According to the company's standards, 0.03 direct labor-hours are required to fulfill an order for one item and the variable overhead rate is $3.55 per direct labor-hour. Required: 1. What is the standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to ship 190,000 items to customers? 2. What is the standard variable overhead cost allowed (SH x SR) to ship 190,000 items to customers? 3. What is the variable overhead spending variance? 4. What is the variable overhead rate variance and the variable overhead efficiency variance? (For requirements 3 and 4, indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.) 1. Standard quantity of labor-hours allowed 2. Standard variable overhead cost allowed 3.

One of the company's products is a set of seat covers that can be adjusted to fit nearly any small car. The company has a standard cost system in use for all of its products. According to the standards that have been set for the seat covers, the factory should work 1,005 hours each month to produce 2,010 sets of covers. The standard costs associated with this level of production are: Total Direct materials $ 28,542 Direct labor $ 8,040 Per Set of Covers $ 14.20 4.00 Variable manufacturing overhead (based on direct labor-hours) $ 3,618 1.80 $ 20.00 During August, the factory worked only 1,200 direct labor-hours and produced 2,600 sets of covers. The following actual costs were recorded during the month: Per Set of Total Direct materials (6,000 yards) $ 35,100 Direct labor $ 10,920 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 5,460 Covers $ 13.50 4.20 2.10 $ 19.80 At standard, each set of covers should require 2.0 yards of material. All of the materials purchased during the month were used in production. Required: 1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for August. 2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for August. 3. Compute the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances for August. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.) 1.
