Mickley Corporation produces two products, Alpha6s and Zeta7s, which pass through two operations, Sintering and Finishing. Each of the products uses two raw materials, X442 and Y661. The company uses a standard cost system, with the following standards for each product (on a per unit basis):

Raw Material

Standard Labor Time

ProductX442Y661SinteringFinishing
Alpha62.5 kilos2.5 liters0.40 hours1.20 hours
Zeta74.5 kilos5.5 liters0.40 hours0.80 hours

Information relating to materials purchased and materials used in production during May follows:

Y66116,400 liters$27,880$1.80per liter14,400liters

The following additional information is available:

  1. The company recognizes price variances when materials are purchased.
  2. The standard labor rate is $21.00 per hour in Sintering and $20.00 per hour in Finishing.
  3. During May, 1,350 direct labor-hours were worked in Sintering at a total labor cost of $33,210, and 2,990 direct labor-hours were worked in Finishing at a total labor cost of $65,780.
  4. Production during May was 2,000 Alpha6s and 1,200 Zeta7s.

Requied:

1. Complete the standard cost card for each product, showing the standard cost of direct materials and direct labor. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)


2. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for each material. (Input all amounts as positive values. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e, zero variance).)



3. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for each operation. (Input all amounts as positive values. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e, zero variance).
