Req 2b:

I thought the solution was as follows but it's telling me it's wrong: 780=(4500-x)*7 =4388.57142857...

Neither 4388 or 4389 are correct.

Sharp Company manufactures a product for which the following standards have been set: Standard Quantity or Hours 3 feet ? hours Standard Price or Rate $5 per foot ? per hour Standard Cost $ 15 Direct materials Direct labor During March, the company purchased direct materials at a cost of $52,965, all of which were used in the production of 2,920 units of product. In addition, 4,500 direct labor-hours were worked on the product during the month. The cost of this labor time was $31,500. The following variances have been computed for the month: Materials quantity variance Labor spending variance Labor efficiency variance $ 4,350 U $ 3,030 U $ 780 U Required: 1. For direct materials: a. Compute the actual cost per foot of materials for March. b. Compute the price variance and the spending variance 2. For direct labor: a. Compute the standard direct labor rate per hour. b. Compute the standard hours allowed for the month's production. C. Compute the standard hours allowed per unit of product.
