Prepare a schedule of standard production costs for January, based on actual production of 7,600 units. 2. For the month of January, compute the following variancesExplanation / Answer
1 Standard costs Direct materials 69920 =7600*9.2 Direct labor 711360 =7600*93.6 Total standard production costs 781280 2 Direct materials price variance=28300*(2.4-2.3)= $2830 Unfavorable Direct materials quantity variance=2.3*(28300-7600*4)=$4830 Favorable Direct materials purchase price variance=29000*(2.4-2.3)= $2900 Unfavorable Direct labor rate variance=46800*(15.2-15.6)= $18720 Favorable Direct labor efficiency variance=15.6*(46800-7600*6)= $18720 Unfavorable
