Question: Dillard, Inc., has developed the following standard cost data based on a denominator volume of 60,000 direct labor hours (DLHs). Budgeted fixed overhead is $360,000
Dillard, Inc., has developed the following standard cost data based on a denominator volume of 60,000 direct labor hours (DLHs). Budgeted fixed overhead is $360,000 and budgeted variable overhead is $180,000 at this level of activity.
| Direct material (3 lbs. @ $2.00/lb.) | $6.00 |
| Direct labor (0.5 hrs. @ $8.00/hr.) | 4.00 |
| Factory overhead (0.5 hrs. @ $9.00/hr.) | 4.50 |
| Total standard cost per unit | $14.50 |
During the last period, the company used 48,000 DLHs to produce 128,000 units. It incurred the following manufacturing costs:
| Actual costs incurred: |
|
| Direct material (380,000 lbs.) | $779,000 |
| Direct labor (63,000 hrs.) | 507,150 |
| Variable overhead | 220,000 |
| Fixed overhead | 365,000 |
Required: Determine all variances for direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead. Use a 4-variance breakdown (decomposition) of the total overhead variance for the period. Assume that the direct materials price variance is calculated at point of production, not point of purchase. Note: this problem requires knowledge from Chapter 14. Show all necessary calculations.
