The Crawley Manufacturing Company's costing system has two direct-cost categories: direct materials and direct manufacturing labor. Manufacturing overhead (both variable and fixed) is allocated to products based on standard direct manufacturing labor hours (DLH). At the beginning of 2021, Crawley adopted the following standards for its manufacturing costs:

Input

Cost Per

Output Unit

  • Direct materials ..............................

3 pounds at $5 per pound

$ 15.00

  • Direct manufacturing labor ................

5 hours at $15 per hour

75.00

  • Manufacturing overhead:

Variable .......................................

$6 per DLH

30.00

Fixed .........................................

$8 per DLH

40.00

Standard manufacturing cost per output unit

$160.00

The denominator level for total manufacturing overhead per month in 2021 is 40,000 direct manufacturing labor hours. Crawley's flexible budget for January 2021 was based on this denominator level. The records for January indicated the following:

  • Direct materials purchased ...................................

25,000 pounds at $5.20 per pounds

  • Direct materials used ................................................

23,100 pounds

  • Direct manufacturing labor ..................................

40,100 hours at $14.60 per hour

  • Total manufacturing overhead (variable and fixed) ......

$600,000

  • Actual production ...............................................

7,800 output units

Compute the production-volume variance for January 2021.

a.

$8,000 unfavorable.

b.

$8,500 unfavorable.

c.

$5,000 unfavorable.

d.

$7,500 favorable.
