Question

Costello Corporation manufactures a single product. The standard cost per unit of product is shown below. The predetermined manufacturing overhead rate is $14 per direct labor hour ($14 Division Sign 1.00). It was computed from a master manufacturing overhead budget based on normal production of 5,100 direct labor hours (5,100 units) for the month. The master budget showed total variable costs of $35,700 ($7.00 per hour) and total fixed overhead costs of $35,700 ($7.00 per hour). Actual costs for October in producing 3,500 units were as follows. The purchasing department buys the quantities of raw materials that are expected to be used in production each month. Raw materials inventories, therefore, can be ignored. Compute all of the materials and labor variances. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)
