Variances and cycle efficiency
Posters Now uses a standard cost system. Job 67 is for the manufacturing of 800 units of the product P100. The company's standards for one unit of product P100 are as follows:
Standard quantity: 11 Ounces
Standard price: $3 per ounce
Standard direct labor: 1.5 hours
Standard Labor rate: $12 per hour
The job required 8,000 ounces of raw material costing $26,100. The job also used 1,250 labor hours at a rate of $12.20 per hour.

Walker Corporation is a distributor of several products. They use a predetermined variable overhead rate based on direct labor hours. In the most recent month, 90,000 items were shipped to customers using 3,500 direct labor hours. The company incurred a total of $12,600 in variable overhead costs. According to the company's standards, 0.04 direct labor hours are required to fulfill an order for one item and the variable overhead rate is $3.500 per direct labor hour.
