The standard direct labor time for producing one pair of original Crocs

Question 1

The standard direct labor time for producing one pair of original Crocs is 0.6 hours and the direct labor rate for producing one pair of original Crocs is $18.50 per hour. During February, 10,000 pairs of original Crocs were produced. Actual direct labor costs were $97,850 for 5,150 hours. Compute the direct labor rate variance and the direct labor efficiency variance for the month of February.

Question 4

Classic British Sports Cars, Inc. specializes in maintaining and restoring sports cars from the 1960s and relies on a flexible budget. For January, 2012, the company projected that its revenue would be $100,000 based on 500 repair jobs at an average cost of $300 and 50 restoration jobs at an average cost of $2,000. Actual revenue for January was $268,000. Is that a favorable or unfavorable variance? What different factors could account for that variance? How should the company adjust its projections as a result of this variance?

Your response should be at least 200 words in length. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations. For problems, be sure to answer all questions and provide all requested information.

Question 5

Hacking Tech, LLC provides security services for corporate computer systems and uses the following information:
Fixed Component Per Month

Variable Component Per Job

Actual Totals for March, 2012
Revenue
$420

$21,500
Tech Analysts Wages

$7,600
$ 7,600
