4. Why might Schuyler calcuifferent points in time? ances with reference to differing 7-25 Materials and manufacturing labor variance following standards for one of its products, a wicker chair. manu The following data were compiled regarding actual performance: actual output unis ivians pruauced, 2,000; square yards of input purchased and used, 3,700 ; price per square yard, $5.10; direct manufacturing labor costs, $8,820; actual hours of input, 900 ; labor price per hour, $9.80. 1. Show computations of price and efficiency variances for direct materials and direct manufacturing labor. Give a plausible explanation of why each variance occurred. 2. Suppose 6,000 square yards of materials were purchased (at $5.10 per square yard), even though only 3,700 square yards were used. Suppose further that variances are identified at their most timely control point; accordingly, direct materials price variances are isolated and traced at the time of purchase to the purchasing department rather than to the production department. Compute the price and efficiency variances under this approach. 7-26 Journal entries and T-accounts (continuation of 7-25). Prepare journal entries and post them to T-accounts for all transactions in Exercise 7-25, including requirement 2. Summarize how these journal entries differ from the normal-costing entries described in Chapter 4, pages 121-123. General Joumal Trans.
