Shasta Fixture Company manufactures faucets in a small manufacturing facility. The faucets are made from brass. Manufacturing has 70 employees. Each employee presently provides 38 hours of labor per week. Information about a production week is as follows:Standard wage per hr. $20.00 Standard labor time per faucet 30 min. Standard number of lbs. of brass 2.5 lbs. Standard price per lb. of brass $1.80 Actual price per lb. of brass $1.95 Actual lbs. of brass used during the week 13,000 lbs. Number of faucets produced during the week 5,000 Actual wage per hr. $18.75 Actual hrs. for the week (70 employees × 38 hours) 2,660Required:a. Determine the standard cost per unit for direct materials and direct labor. b. Determine the direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance.

a. Determine the standard cost per unit for direct materials and direct labor.

standard direct labor rate = $20 x 30/60 minutes = $10 per faucet

standard direct materials rate = $1.80 x 2.5 lbs = $4.50 per faucet

b. Determine the direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance.

direct materials price variance = (actual price x actual quantity) - (standard price x actual quantity) = ($1.95 x 13,000) - ($1.80 x 12,500) = $25,350 - $22,500 = $2,850 UNFAVORABLE

direct materials quantity variance = (standard price x actual quantity) -(standard price x standard quantity) = ($1.80 x 13,000) - ($1.80 x 12,500) = $23,400 - $22,500 = $900 UNFAVORABLE

total direct materials variance = direct materials price variance + direct materials quantity variance = $2,850 + $900 = $3,750 UNFAVORABLE
