Problem 25-4A

Kansas Company uses a standard cost accounting system. In 2017, the company produced 27,600 units. Each unit took several pounds of direct materials and 1.6 standard hours of direct labor at a standard hourly rate of $13.00. Normal capacity was 49,700 direct labor hours. During the year, 130,800 pounds of raw materials were purchased at $0.91 per pound. All materials purchased were used during the year.

Problem 25-4A

Kansas Company uses a standard cost accounting system. In 2017, the company produced 27,600 units. Each unit took several pounds of direct materials and 1.6 standard hours of direct labor at a standard hourly rate of $13.00. Normal capacity was 49,700 direct labor hours. During the year, 130,800 pounds of raw materials were purchased at $0.91 per pound. All materials purchased were used during the year.

Explanation / Answer

If the materials price variance was $5,232 favorable, what was the standard materials price per pound? (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.75.)

=Actual Cost of material purchased + favourable Variance =Standared price of 130800 pound of Material

=130,800 *.91 + 5232 =124260

Standard materials price per pound =124260/130800 =.95 Per Pound

If the materials quantity variance was $14,136 unfavorable, what was the standard materials quantity per unit?

Actual Quantity Used =130,800

Efficency Variance =Actual Qty *Standared Rate - Standared qty *SR

14136=130800*.95 - Standared qty *.95

Standared Qty =110124/.95 =115920 pound

standard materials quantity per unit =115920/27,600 =4.20 pound per unit

What were the standard hours allowed for the units produced?

standard hours allowed for the units produced =1.6*27600 =44160

If the labor quantity variance was $5,200 unfavorable, what were the actual direct labor hours worked?

Actual direct labor hours worked =((44160*13)+5200))/13 =44560

If the labor price variance was $8,912 favorable, what was the actual rate per hour? (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.75.)

=(44560*13-8912)/44560=12.80 per hour

If total budgeted manufacturing overhead was $323,050 at normal capacity, what was the predetermined overhead rate?

Normal capacity was 49,700 direct labor hours =323050/49700 =6.5 per direct labor hours

What was the standard cost per unit of product? (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.75.)

How much overhead was applied to production during the year?

44560 hours *6.5 per hour

Using one or more answers above, what were the total costs assigned to work in process?

=27,600 units *Standard cost per unit 27.40 =755964

If total budgeted manufacturing overhead was $323,050 at normal capacity, what was the predetermined overhead rate?

Normal capacity was 49,700 direct labor hours =323050/49700 =6.5 per direct labor hours

What was the standard cost per unit of product? (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.75.)

Direct Material .95*4.20 4.0 Direct Labor 13.0 manufacturing overhead 6.5*1.6 10.4 Standard cost per unit 27.4

How much overhead was applied to production during the year?

44560 hours *6.5 per hour

Using one or more answers above, what were the total costs assigned to work in process?

=27,600 units *Standard cost per unit 27.40 =755964
