Compute all of the materials and labor variances

Costello Corporation manufactures a single product. The standard cost per unit of product is shown below.

Direct materials—2 pound plastic at $6.70 per pound $ 13.40 Direct labor—2.00 hours at $12.00 per hour 24.00 Variable manufacturing overhead 12.00 Fixed manufacturing overhead 16.00 Total standard cost per unit $65.40

The predetermined manufacturing overhead rate is $14 per direct labor hour ($28.00 ÷ 2.00). It was computed from a master manufacturing overhead budget based on normal production of 11,600 direct labor hours (5,800 units) for the month. The master budget showed total variable costs of $69,600 ($6.00 per hour) and total fixed overhead costs of $92,800 ($8.00 per hour). Actual costs for October in producing 3,900 units were as follows.

Direct materials (7,960 pounds) $ 55,402 Direct labor (7,610 hours) 94,060 Variable overhead 77,967 Fixed overhead 33,203 Total manufacturing costs $260,632

The purchasing department buys the quantities of raw materials that are expected to be used in production each month. Raw materials inventories, therefore, can be ignored.
