Problem 10-16 Comprehensive Variance Analysis (L010-1, 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 Standard Price Standard or Hours Direct materials or Rate Cost Direct labor $4.50 per yard $? ? 7 Variable manufacturing overhead per direct $ 2 labor-hour Total standard cost per unit $7 7 ? Overhead is applied to production on the basis of direct labor-hours. During March, 530 backpacks were manufactured and sold Selected information relating to the month's production is given below. Variable Materials Direct Manufacturing Labor Used Overhead Total standard cost allowed $ 9,540 $5,936 Actual costs incurred $1,484 $ 8,645 7 $1,690 Materials price variance 7 Materials quantity variance $ 1,575 U Labor rate variance Labor efficiency variance Variable overhead rate variance Variable overhead efficiency variance "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 backoack produced during March 795 $0.20 F 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 795 $ 0.20 F 55 Required: Hint: It may be helpful to complete a general model diagram for direct materiais, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead before attempting to answer any of the requirements. 1. What is the standard cost of a single backpack? 2. What was the actual cost per backpack produced during March? 3. How many yards of material are required at standard per backpack? 4. What was the materials price variance for March if there were no beginning or ending inventories of materials? 5. What is the standard direct labor rate per hour? 6. What was the labor rate variance for March? The labor efficiency variance? 7. What was the variable overhead rate variance for March? The variable overhead efficiency variance? 8.
