The number of finished units budgeted for January 2017 was 10,080: 9.950 units were actually produced. (Click the icon to view actual data.) Assume that there was no beginning inventory of either direct materials or finished units. During the month, materials purchased amounted to 100,800 lb., at a total cost of $483,840. Input price variances are isolated upon purchase. Input-efficiency variances are isolated at the time of usage. Read the requirements Requirement 1. Compute the January 2017 price and efficiency variances of direct materials and direct manufacturing labor. i Requirements - X Let's begin by calculating the actual input at the budgeted price. (Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar) Actual input X Budgeted price = Cost Direct materials (purchases) Direct materials (usage) Direct manufacturing labor 1. Compute the January 2017 price and efficiency variances of direct materials and direct manufacturing labor. 2. Prepare journal entries to record the variances in requirement 1. 3. Comment on the January 2017 price and efficiency variances of Madison Corporation. 4. Why might Madison calculate direct materials price variances and direct materials efficiency variances with reference to different points in time? A Actual Data i Standards Actual results in January 2017 were as follows: Direct materials: 99,000 lb. used Direct manufacturing labor: 4,800 hours Direct materials: 10 lb. at $4.70 per lb. Direct manufacturing labor: 0.5 hour at $29 per hour $ 47.00 14.50 $ 145,200 Print Done Print Done

Answer 1

	Actual input	x	Budgeted price	=	Cost
Direct materials (purchases)	100,800	x	$4.70	=	$473,760
Direct materials (usage)	99,000	x	$4.70	=	$465,300
Direct manufacturing labor	4,800	x	$29.00	=	$139,200
