Aquatic Corp.'s standard material requirement to produce one Model 2000 is 15 pounds of material at $110 per pound. Last month, Aquatic purchased 170,000 pounds of material at a total cost of $17,850,000. It used 162,000 pounds to produce 10,000 units of Model 2000.​ Determine the direct materials price variance and direct materials quantity variance, and indicate whether each variance is favorable or unfavorable.

The standard factory overhead rate is $7.50 per machine hour ($6.20 for variable factory overhead and $1.30 for fixed factory overhead) based on 100% of normal capacity of 80,000 machine hours. The standard cost and the actual cost of factory overhead for the production of 15,000 units during August were as follows: ​ -The following data are given for Bahia Company: Overhead is applied on standard labor hours.The variable factory overhead controllable variance is

Rosser Company records standard costs and variances in its accounts. Rosser Company produces a container that requires 4 yards of material per unit. The standard price of one yard of material is $4.50. During the month, 9,500 chairs were manufactured using 37,300 yards of material.​ Journalize the entry to record the direct materials used in production.

The standard factory overhead rate is $7.50 per machine hour ($6.20 for variable factory overhead and $1.30 for fixed factory overhead) based on 100% of normal capacity of 80,000 machine hours. The standard cost and the actual cost of factory overhead for the production of 15,000 units during August were as follows: ​ -The fixed factory overhead volume variance is

Since the variable factory overhead controllable variance measures the efficiency of using variable overhead resources, if budgeted variable overhead exceeds actual results, the variance is favorable.

The standard factory overhead rate is $7.50 per machine hour ($6.20 for variable factory overhead and $1.30 for fixed factory overhead) based on 100% of normal capacity of 80,000 machine hours. The standard cost and the actual cost of factory overhead for the production of 15,000 units during August were as follows: ​ -The following data are given for Bahia Company: Overhead is applied on standard labor hours.The fixed factory overhead volume variance is

Standard costs are used in companies for a variety of reasons. Which of the following is not one of the benefits for using standard costs?

Ajay Company records standard costs and variances in its accounts. Journalize the entry to record the purchase of 6,000 widgets at $8.00 per unit, assuming widgets have a standard cost of $8.15 per unit.

Standards are set for only direct labor and direct materials.

The following data relate to direct materials costs for February: Materials cost per yard: standard, $2.00; actual, $2.10 Yards per unit: standard, 4.5 yards; actual, 4.75 yards Units of production: 9,500 -The direct materials quantity variance is

Favorable fixed factory overhead volume variances are never harmful, since achieving them encourages managers to run the factory above normal capacity.

Jaxson Corporation has the following data related to direct labor costs for September: actual costs for 10,200 hours at $15.75 per hour and standard costs for 10,800 hours at $15.50 per hour.​ The direct labor time variance is

If the standard to produce a given amount of product is 1,000 units of direct materials at $11 and the actual direct materials used are 800 units at $12, the direct materials price variance is $800 unfavorable.

Variances from standard costs are usually not included in reports to stockholders.
