PROBLEM 3
Kodaki Company uses a standard cost system to help control costs and has established the following
standards for one unit of its main product, The AwesomeTripod:
Inputs Standards
Direct Materials 3 metal bars per tripod at P 2.00 per bar
Direct labor ½ labor hour per tripod at P 10 per hour
At the start of the month, the budget includes a planned production of 100 units of tripod based on normal
capacity; at the end of the month, actual production was 120 units of tripod, which resulted to using 400 bars
of metal, purchased at a cost of P 2.10 per bar.
1. Based on the BUDGETED production of 100 units:
A) How many metal bars must the company plan to use? (Budgeted quantity)
B) How much materials cost is included in the budget? (Budgeted cost)
2. Determine the actual cost of materials used. (Actual cost)
3. Based on the ACTUAL production of 120 units:
A) How many metal bars should have been used? (Standard quantity)
B) How much materials cost should have been incurred? (Standard materials cost)
C) How many labor hours should have been spent? (Standard hours)
