Cato Band Uniforms uses a standard costing system. The standard material and labor costs for producing a marching band hat are as follows:

Materials (0.90 yards × $12.00) $10.80
Direct labor (1.20 hours × $14.10) $16.92
During May, the company produced 3,800 band hats; 3,840 yards of material were purchased for $41,472, and 3,050 yards of material were used in production. Also during May, 4,460 direct labor hours were worked at a cost of $53,520. Calculate material price and quantity variances and labor rate and efficiency variances. Indicate whether the variances are favorable or unfavorable. (Round intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125. Enter all variances as a positive number.)

Riide, as discussed in the chapter opener, uses a costing system with standard costs for direct materials, direct labor and overhead costs. Two comments frequently are mentioned in relation to standard costing and variance analysis: “Variances are not explanations” and “Management’s goal is not to minimize variances.” Write a short memo (no more than two paragraphs) to Amber Wason and Jeff Stefanis, Riide’s co-founders, interpreting these two comments in the context of their electric bike business. After your memo, please...

Variable costing versus absorption costing. The Garvis Company uses an absorption-costing system based on standard costs. Variable manufacturing cost consists of direct material cost of $4.50 per unit and other variable manufacturing costs of $1.50 per unit. The standard production rate is 20 units per machine-hour. Total budgeted and actual fixed manufacturing overhead costs are $840,000. Fixed manufacturing overhead is allocated at $14 per machine-hour based on fixed manufacturing costs of $840,000÷60,000$840,000÷60,000 machine-hours, which is the level Garvis uses as...
