Problem 11-6 (Part Level Submission)
XO-20 is an oil-based product used to remove rust on bolts and nuts that are stuck. Its accounting system uses standard costs. The standards per 0.50-liter can of solution call for 0.80 liters of material and 4 hours of labor. (0.80 liters of material are needed due to evaporation in the production process.) The standard cost per liter of material is $2.40. The standard cost per hour for labor is $14.00. Overhead is applied at the rate of $14.17 per can. Expected production is 7,800 cans with fixed overhead per year of $30,966 and variable overhead of $10.20 per unit (a 0.50-liter can).
During 2018, 8,600 cans were produced; 12,300 liters of material were purchased at a cost of $52,890; 9,500 liters of material were used in production. The cost of direct labor incurred in 2018 was $403,200, based on an average actual wage rate of $12 per hour. Actual overhead for 2018 was $114,100.
