Mickley Corporation produces two products, Alpha6s and Zeta7s, which pass through two operations, Sintering and Finishing. Each of the products uses two raw materials, X442 and Y661. The company uses a standard cost system, with the following standards for each product (on a per unit basis):

Raw Material

Standard Labor Time

Product X442 Y661 Sintering Finishing
Alpha6 1.8 kilos 2.0 liters 0.20 hours 0.80 hours
Zeta7 3.0 kilos 4.5 liters 0.35 hours 0.90 hours

Information relating to materials purchased and materials used in production during May follows:

Material Purchases Purchase Cost Standard Price Used in Production
X442 14,500 kilos $52,200 $3.50 per kilo 8,500 kilos
Y661 15,500 liters $20,925 $1.40 per liter 13,000 liters

The following additional information is available:
a. The company recognizes price variances when materials are purchased.
b. The standard labor rate is $19.80 per hour in Sintering and $19.20 per hour in Finishing.
c.

During May, 1,200 direct labor-hours were worked in Sintering at a total labor cost of $27,000, and 2,850 direct labor-hours were worked in Finishing at a total labor cost of $59,850.

d. Production during May was 1,500 Alpha6s and 2,000 Zeta7s.

Requied:
1.

Complete the standard cost card for each product, showing the standard cost of direct materials and direct labor. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost
Alpha6:
Direct materials-X442 kilos per kilo
Direct materials-Y661 liters per liter
Direct labor-Sintering hours per hour
Direct labor-Finishing hours per hour
Total $0.00
Zeta7:
Direct materials-X442 kilos per kilo
Direct materials-Y661 liters per liter
Direct labor-Sintering hours per hour
Direct labor-Finishing hours per hour
Total $0.00
2.

Compute the materials price and quantity variances for each material. (Input all amounts as positive values. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e, zero variance).)

Direct Materials VariancesMaterial X442:
Materials price variance
Materials quantity variance
