10. A total of 2,430,000 basic pens and 874,000 customized pens were produced and sold in 2020 at average selling prices of $1.55 and $3.05, respectively. A total of 275,000 pounds of plastic was purchased at a cost of $2,406,250 152,000 pounds of plastic were used to produce the basic pens, and 115,000 pounds of plastic were used to create the customized pens A total of 3,500,000 cartridges were purchased at a cost of $1,653,750 2,475,000 cartridges were used to produce the basic pens, and 910,000 cartridges were used to create the customized pens 24,000 direct labor hours were traced to the basic pens, and 19,700 direct labor hours were traced to the customized pens. A total of $745,850 in wages was paid to the manufacturing workers (traced to basic $342,000 and customized $403,850 workers ). Actual machine hours were 4,800 and 3,750 for the basic and customized pens, respectively. Further, for manufacturing operations overhead actual fixed costs. were $254,000 and actual variable costs were $185,000 For machine setup overhead costs, actual fixed costs were $333,000 and actual variable costs were $235,011 Basic pens were produced in batches of 5,400 pens and used 1.9 hours per batch Customized pens were produced in batches of 920 and used 8.4 hours per batch. 7 2 a. Calculate the direct material price variance, the direct material efficiency variance, the direct labor price variance, and the direct labor efficiency variance for each of the product lines separately. Also, for each overhead activity, calculate the FMOH (spending and production volume) variances for the Pen division and the VMOH (spending and efficiency) variances for the two products Use IF statements to determine if the variances are favorable Or unfavorable b.
