Answer 1

1a	Shampoo
	Material Price Variance	(Standard Price - Actual Price) X Actual Quantity Consumed
		= [(0.40 - (372.5/745)] X 745 Ounces
		= [0.4 - 0.5] X 745 ounces
		= 74.5 Unfavourable
	Material Quantity Variance	(Standard Quantity for Actual Output - Actual Quantity) X Standard Price
		= [(390 x 2.1) - 745] X 0.40
		= [819 - 745] X 0.40
		= 29.60 Favourable
1b	Water
	Material Price Variance	(Standard Price - Actual Price) X Actual Quantity Consumed
		= [(0.06 - (552/6900)] X 6900 gallons
		= [0.06 - 0.08] X 6900 gallons
		= 138 Unfavourable
	Material Quantity Variance	(Standard Quantity for Actual Output - Actual Quantity) X Standard Price
		= [(390 x 19) - 6900] X 0.06
		= [7410 - 6900] X 0.06
		= 30.60 Favourable
2	Labour Rate Variance	(Standard rate - Actual rate) X Actual Hours
		= [11 - (4026/330)] X 330 hours
		= [11.00 - 12.20] X 330 hours
		= 396 Unfavourable
	Labour Efficieny Variance	(Standard Hours for Actual Output - Actual Hours worked ) X Standard rate
		= [(390*1.25) - 330] X 11.00
		= [(487.5 - 330] X 11.00
		= 1,733 Favourable
