Sharp company manufactures a product for which the following standards have been set: standard quantity or hours standard price or rate standard cost direct materials 3 feet $ 11 per foot $ 33 direct labor ? hours ? per hour ? during march, the company purchased direct materials at a cost of $111,300, all of which were used in the production of 3,200 units of product. in addition, 4,900 direct labor-hours were worked on the product during the month. the cost of this labor time was $95,550. the following variances have been computed for the month: materials quantity variance $ 4,400 u labor spending variance $ 450 f labor efficiency variance $ 2,000 u required: 1. for direct materials: a. compute the actual cost per foot of materials for march. b. compute the price variance and the spending variance. 2. for direct labor: a. compute the standard direct labor rate per hour. b. compute the standard hours allowed for the month’s production. c. compute the standard hours allowed per unit of product.

Areal estate agent is considering changing her cell phone plan. there are three plans to choose from, all of which involve a monthly service charge of $20. plan a has a cost of $.42 a minute for daytime calls and $.17 a minute for evening calls. plan b has a charge of $.52 a minute for daytime calls and $.15 a minute for evening calls. plan c has a flat rate of $80 with 275 minutes of calls allowed per month and a charge of $.38 per minute beyond that, day or evening.a. determine the total charge under each plan for this case: 150 minutes of day calls and 70 minutes of evening calls in a month. (do not round intermediate calculations. round your answer to 2 decimal places. omit the "$" sign in your response.)c. if the agent will use the service for daytime calls, over what range of call minutes will each plan be optimal? (round each answer to the nearest whole number.include the indifference point itself in each answer.)d. suppose that the agent expects both daytime and evening calls. at what point (i.e., percentage of total call minutes used for daytime calls) would she be indifferent between plans a and b?
