Answer 1

SOLUTION:

1A)DIRECT MATERIALS PRICE VARIANCE=14994 FAVORABLE

(STANDARD PRICE-ACTUAL PRICE)*ACTUAL QUANTITY

(10.5-10.08)*35700

0.42*35700

14994

1B)DIRECT MATERIALS QUANTITY VARIANCE=7350 UNFAVORABLE

(STANDARD QUANTITY-ACTUAL QUANTITY)*STANDARD PRICE

(2500*14-35700)*10.5

(35000-35700)*10.5

(700)*10.5

(7350)

1C)DIRECT MATERIALS COST VARIANCE=7644 FAVORABLE

(STANDARD QUANTITY*14*STANDARD PRICE)-(ACTUAL QUANTITY*ACTUAL PRICE)

(2500*14*10.5)-(35700*10.08)

367500-359856

7644

2A)DIRECT LABOR RATE VARIANCE=17556 FAVORABLE

(STANDARD RATE-ACTUAL RATE)*ACTUAL HOURS

(19-18.43)*30800

0.57*30800

=17556

2B)DIRECT LABOR TIME VARIANCE= 22800 UNFAVORABLE

(STANDARD HOUR-ACTUAL HOUR)*STANDARD RATE

(29600-30800)*19

(1200)*19

(22800)

STANDARD HOUR=3700*8=29600

2C)DIRECT LABOR COST VARIANCE=(5244) UNFAVORABLE

17556+(22800)

(5244)
