Dawson Toys, Ltd., produces a toy called the Maze. The company has recently established a standard cost system to help control costs and has established the following standards for the Maze toy: Direct materials: 7 microns per toy at $0.33 per micron Direct labor: 1.4 hours per toy at $6.70 per hour During July, the company produced 5,200 Maze toys. The toy's production data for the month are as follows: Direct materials: 76,000 microns were purchased at a cost of $0.30 per micron. 30,500 of these microns were still in inventory at the end of the month. Direct labor: 7,580 direct labor-hours were worked at a cost of $56,092. Required: 1. Compute the following variances for July: (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) a. The materials price and quantity variances. b. The labor rate and efficiency variances.

Explanation:

DIRECT MATERIALS VARIANCES

[tex](standard\:cost-actual\:cost) \times actual \: quantity= DM \: price \: variance[/tex]

std cost  $0.33

actual cost  $0.30

quantity 76,000

difference  $0.03

price variance  $2,280.00

[tex](std\:q-actual\:q) \times standard \: cost = DM \: efficiency \: variance[/tex]

std quantity 36400.00 (7 x 5,200 toys produced)

actual quantity 30500.00

std cost  $0.33

difference 5900.00

efficiency variance  $1,947.00

[tex](standard\:rate-actual\:rate) \times actual \: hours = DL \: rate \: variance[/tex]

std rate  $6.70

actual rate  $7.40 (56,092 labor cost /7,580 hours)

actual hours 7,580

difference  $(0.70)

rate variance  $(5,306.00)

[tex](standard\:hours-actual\:hours) \times standard \: rate = DL \: efficiency \: variance[/tex]

std  hours 7280.00 (1.4 hours x 5,200 toys produced )

actual hours 7580.00

std rate  $6.70

difference -300.00

efficiency variance  $(2,010.00)

Variance is the amount calculated by subtracting the budgeted, planned, and standard cost amount with the actually incurred amount of the firm.

DIRECT MATERIALS VARIANCES:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \text{Direct material variance}&= \text{Standard cost}-\text{Actual cost} \times \text{Actual Quantity}\end{aligned}[/tex]

standard cost    $0.33

actual cost         $0.30

quantity              76,000

difference          $0.03

price variance    $2,280.00

[tex]\begin{aligned} \text{Direct material efficiency variance}&= \text{Standard cost}-\text{Actual cost} \times \text{standard cost}\end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\text{standard quantity} =36400.00\; {(7 \times 5,200)} \;\text{toys produced}[/tex]

actual quantity = 30500.00

standard cost =   $0.33

difference =       5900.00

efficiency variance = $1,947.00

[tex]\begin{aligned} \text{Direct labor rate variance}&= \text{Standard rate}-\text{Actual rate} \times \text{actual hours}\end{aligned}[/tex]

standard rate=    $6.70

[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{actual rate}&= \frac{\text{\$56,092 labor cost}}{{\text{7580 hours}}}\\&=\$7.40\end{aligned}[/tex]

actual hours=    7,580

difference =      $(0.70)

rate variance =    $5,306.00

[tex]\begin{aligned} \text{Direct labor efficiency variance}&= \text{Standard hours}-\text{Actual hours} \times \text{standard rate}\end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{standard hours}=7280.00 {(1.4 \text{hour} \times 5,200 \text\;{toys \; produced)}}\end{aligned}[/tex]

actual hours= 7580.00

standard rate=  $6.70

difference = -300.00

efficiency variance = $2,010.00
