Gala2k [10]

Answer and Explanation:

For calculating the average of the monthly productivity, first, we have to determine the total hours, and then units per machine hours

Therefore, the formula to figure out the total hours is

= Hours per machine × Number of machines

For JAN = 325 × 3 = 975 hours

For FEB = 200 × 5 = 1,000 hours

For MAR = 400 × 4 = 1,600 hours

For APR = 320 × 4 = 1,280 hours

Now, the units per machine hours equivalent to

= Units produced ÷ total hours

For JAN = 2,300 units ÷ 975 hours = 2.36

For FEB = 1,800 units ÷ 1,000 hours = 1.8

For MAR = 2,800 units ÷ 1,600 hours = 1.75

For APR = 3,000 units ÷ 1,280 hours = 2.34

Now, the average of the monthly productivity equals to

= (2.36 + 1.8 + 1.75 + 2.34) ÷ 4

= 2.06 units per machine hour

The standard cost of product 777 includes 2.0 units of direct materials at $6.00 per unit. During August, the company bought 29,

AfilCa [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Total material variance = Actual quantity × Actual rate - Standard quantity × Standard rate

= 29000 × $6.3 - (16,000 units × 2) × $6

= $182,700 - $192,000

= - $9,300 favorable

Material price variance = Actual quantity × Actual price - Actual quantity × Standard price

= (29,000 units × $6.3) - (29,000 units × $6)

= $182,700 - $174,000

= $8,700 unfavorable

Material quantity variance = Standard quantity × Actual quantity - Standard rate × Standard quantity

= $6 × 29,000 units - $6 × (16,000 units × 2)

= $174,000 - $192,000

= -$18,000 favorable

The favorable is when the standard cost is more than the actual one while the unfavorable is when the standard cost is less than the actual one
