PA9-1 (Algo) Calculating Direct Material, Direct Labor, Variable Overhead Variances [LO 9-3, 9-4, 9-5]

Barley Hopp, Inc., manufactures custom-ordered commemorative beer steins. Its standard cost information follows:

	Standard Quantity		Standard Price (Rate)			Standard Unit Cost
Direct materials (clay)	1.70	lbs.	$	1.80	per lb.	$	3.06
Direct labor	1.70	hrs.	$	11.00	per hr.		18.70
Variable manufacturing overhead (based on direct labor hours)	1.70	hrs.	$	1.10	per hr.		1.87
Fixed manufacturing overhead ($420,500.00 145,000.00 units)							2.90

Barley Hopp had the following actual results last year:

Number of units produced and sold		150,000
Number of pounds of clay used		268,200
Cost of clay	$	455,940
