Determine the actual costs incurred during the month of May for direct materials, direct labor,

and manufacturing overhead.

Explanation / Answer

All Amounts in $ Standard Costing Direct Materials 85000 Direct Labor 150000 Manufacturing Overhead 300000 Actual Direct Material Cost = Standard Direct Material Cost - Favourable Price Variance - Favourable Quantity Variance = 85,000 - 5,000 - 3,000 = $ 77,000. Actual Direct Labor Cost = Standard Direct Labor Cost - Favorable Rate Variance - Favorable Efficiency Variance = 150,000 - 2,700 - 6,200 = $ 141,100. Actual Manufacturing Overheads = Standard Manufacturing Overheads - Favorable Spending Variance - Favorable Volume Variance = 300,000 - 4,000 - 5,000 = $ 291,000.
