Dvorak Company produced 1,000 units that require five standard pounds per unit at $2.50 standard price per pound

Dvorak Company produced 1,000 units that require five standard pounds per unit at $2.50 standard price per pound. The company actually used 4,500 pounds in production. Journalize the entry to record the standard direct materials used in production.

Answer:

Work in Process (5,000* lbs. × $2.50) 12,500  

Direct Materials Quantity Variance**  1,250 

Materials (4,500 lbs. × $2.50)  11,250 

* 1,000 units × 5 standard lbs. per unit 

** [(4,500 lbs. – 5,000 lbs.) × $2.50]

The Assembly Department produced 5,000 units of product during March. Each unit
required 2.20 standard direct labor hours. There were 11,500 actual hours used in the Assembly Department during March at an actual rate of $17.60 per hour.

5,000 × 2.20 hrs. × $18.00 
Direct labor time variance: (11,500 – 11,000) × $18.00 = $9,000 U 
Direct labor rate variance: ($17.60 – $18.00) × 11,500 = $4,600 F
