Recording Standards in Accounts
The Assembly Department produced 3,000 units of product during March. Each unit required 1.75 standard direct labor hours. There were 5,600 actual hours used in the Assembly Department during March at an actual rate of $11 per hour. The standard direct labor rate is $12 per hour.
Assuming direct labor for a month is paid on the fifth day of the following month, journalize the direct labor in the Assembly Department on March 31. For a compound transaction, if an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
March 31Explanation / Answer
Answer
Actual Hours (AH) = 5600
Actual rate (AR) = $11 per hour
Actual cost = 5600 x 11 = $61,600
Standard hours (SH) = 3000 units x 1.75 hours = 5250 hours
Standard rate (SR) = $12 per hour
Standard cost = 5250 x 12 = $63,000
