BITCO has determined that its standard costs to produce a single unit of output is as follows:
Direct materials 6 pounds at $0.90 per pound = $5.40
Direct labor 0.5 hour at $12.00 per hour = $6.00
Manufacturing overhead 0.5 hour at $4.80 per hour = $2.40
During the latest month, the company purchased and used 58,000 pounds of direct materials at a price of $1.00 per pound to produce 10,000 units of output. Direct labor costs for the month totaled $56,350 based on 4,900 direct labor hours worked. Variable manufacturing overhead costs incurred totaled $15,000 and fixed manufacturing overhead incurred was $10,400.
Based on BITCO's information, the direct materials price variance for the month was:
Group of answer choices
$1,800 unfavorable
$5,800 unfavorable
$1,800 favorable
Scully Company budgeted the following overhead costs for the current year assuming operations at 40,000 units, which is 80% of capacity (50,000 units):
Total variable overhead $240,000
Total fixed overhead 560,000
Total overhead $800,000
The standard cost per unit when operating at this same 80% capacity level is:
Direct materials (5 lbs. @ $4/lb.) $20.00
Direct labor (2 hrs. @ $8.75/hr.) 17.5
Variable overhead (2 hrs. @ $3/hr.) 6
Fixed overhead (2 hrs. @ $7/hr.) 14
Total cost per unit $57.50
The actual production achieved in the current year was 60% of capacity, or 30,000 units. The actual costs were:
Direct materials (150,350 lbs.) $616,435
Direct labor (59,800 hrs.) 520,260
Variable overhead 192,000
Fixed overhead 552,000
