Question

Saskatewan Can Company manufactures recyclable soft-drink cans. A unit of production is a case of 12 dozen cans. The following standards have been set by the production-engineering staff and the controller.

  

Direct Labor:	Direct Material:
Quantity, 0.25 hour	Quantity, 4 kilograms
Rate, $12.50 per hour	Price, $0.60 per kilogram

  

Actual material purchases amounted to 200,000 kilograms at $0.64 per kilogram. Actual costs incurred in the production of 40,000 units were as follows:

Direct labor:	$137,700 for 10,800 hours
Direct material:	$108,800 for 170,000 kilograms

   

Required:

Fill in the amounts in the tables below.

Required 1 Required 2 Required 3 Fill in the amounts in the tables below. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "Favorable" or "Unfavorable". Select "None" and enter "O" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Round "per hour" to 2 decimal places.)
