Question

Mauritiana uses standard costing for her shawls. She expects that a typical shawl should take 4 hours to​ produce, and the standard wage rate is $ 10.00 per hour. An average shawl uses 12 skeins of wool. Marina shops around for good​ deals, and expects to pay $ 3.30 per skein. Mauriona uses a​ just-in-time inventory​ system, as she has clients tell her what type and color of wool they would like her to use. For the month of​ April, Mauriona​'s workers produced 200 shawls using 784 hours and 3 comma 360 skeins of wool. Mauriona bought wool for $ 10 comma 420 ​(and used the entire​ quantity), and incurred labor costs of $ 8 comma 100Calculate the price and efficiency variances for the wool and the price and efficiencyvariances for direct manufacturing labor.2. Record the journal entries for the variances incurred.

Answer 1

Instructions are listed below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

She expects that a typical shawl should take 4 hours to​ produce, and the standard wage rate is $ 10.00 per hour. An average shawl uses 12 skeins of wool. Marina shops around for good​ deals, and expects to pay $ 3.30 per skein.

For ​ April, Mauriona​'s workers produced 200 shawls using 784 hours and 3,360 skeins of wool. Mauriona bought wool for $ 10,420 ​(and used the entire​ quantity), and incurred labor costs of $ 8,100.

1)

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Actual price= 3.10

Direct material price variance= (3.3 - 3.10)*3,360= $672 favorable

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Direct material quantity variance= [(12*200) - 3,360]*3.3= $3,168 unfavorable

Direct labor efficiency variance= (SQ - AQ)*standard rate

Direct labor efficiency variance= [(4*200) - 784]*10= $160 favorable

Direct labor price variance= (SR - AR)*AQ

Direct labor price variance= (10 - 10.33)*784= 258.72 unfavorable

2)

Work in process 7,924

Direct material quantity variance 3,168

Direct material price variance 672

Material inventory 10,420

Work in process 8,000

Direct labor price variance 260

Direct labor efficiency variance 160

Wages payable 8,100
