    The standard costs for the prime cost of its single product is as follows:
    Materials: 8Kilograms @$5 per kilogram = $40
    Labor: 6 hours @ $8.20 per hour = $49.20

    The following oper. Data was taken from the records for nov.:
    Units completed 5,600 units; budgeted output 6,000 units; purchases of Materials $300,760; total labor costs$300,760; actual hours of labor 36,500 hours; Material efficiency variance $2,500 Unfavorable; Total material variance $750 (unfavorable)

    1. What is the Direct labor price variance for Nov. = 1,460
    2. Is the direct labor price variance favorable or unfavorable? = (U)
    3. What is the direct labor efficiency variance for Nov. = $23,780
    4. Is the direct labor efficiency favorable or unfavorable? = (U)
    5. What is the actual kilogram of material used in the production process during Nov. = 45,100kg
    6. Assume the purchasing dept. is responsible for the material price variance, what is the actual price per kilogram of material during Nov. = $5.015
    7. What is the total amount or direct materials and direct labor costs transferred to the finished goods account for Nov. = $550,010

    Two jobs were worked on during 2006: job A-101 and Jop A-102. The number of the direct labor hours spent on Job A101 and Job A 102 were 1,200 and 1,00, respectiely. The actual manufacturing OH was $37,000

    Estimated manufacgturing OH for 2006 $40,000
    Estimated direct labor hours for 2006 $2,000

    1. What is the predetermined manfuacturing overhead rate per direct labor hour for the year? = $25.

    2. What was the amount of manufacturing OH applied to job A101? = $24,000

    3. What is the amount of the under or over-applied manufacturing OH? = $4,000 under-applied

    Uing predetermined manufacturing OH rates based on direct labor hours to apply its indirect product costs to jobs? Using the following information collected for the previous:
    Direct Materials $150,000; Direct Labor 200,000; sales commissions 100,000; Indirect Labor 50,000; rent on office equipment 25,000; depreciation - factory building 75,000; Utilities (factory) 125,000.

    1. Use 25,000 direct labor hours and 50,000 machine hours during the previous. What is the predetermined overhead rate per direct labor hour? = $14.00

    The following costs have been estimated based on sales of 30,000 units. Using the information below:
    Total Amount Costs % that is variable
    Direct Materials $300,000 100%
    Direct Labor 250,000 100%
    Manufacturing OH 250,000 50%
    Selling & Administrative 150,000 25%

    What selling price will yield a contribution margin of 40%? = $33.25

    A company has fixed cost of $225,000 for the production of tubes. Estimated sales are 150,000 units. A before tax profit of $125,000 is desired by the controller. If the tubes sell for $5 each, what unit contribution margin is required to attain the profit target?

    $2.33

    150,000 units @ $5 = 750,000
    225,000 + x +125,000 =750,000
    x = 750,000 - 350,000 = 400,000
    400,000/150,000 = $2.33.

    And for this one, you really are going to have to show attempt at working the problem or ask some specific questions, because process costing problems are long and nearly impossible to just try to explain in a post.

    Ditto - see the guidelines for submitting homework.

    Questions 2 - 8 are not related to the information given.

    While I fully agree with Morgaine300, I have prepared a skeleton table for you. All you have to do is put in the figures. I am sure your text book must have some information for calculating EPU.

    I just need to know if I am on the right track. I am having a lot of problems with this class and the professor is not a user friendly person.
