Expert Solution


1	Labor efficiency variance =Standard Rate*(Actual labor hours - Standard Hours)
	Labor efficiency variance =$16*(60,170 - 59,600) =$9,120(Unfavourable)
	So Option A is answer

2	Contribution margin per unit =$94,300 / 23000 units =$4.10
	Contribution margin at 20,000 units =20,000*$4.10 =$82,000
	Less:Fixed Cost =$23,000
	Operating Income at 20,000 units =$59,000
	So Option B is answer

3	Sales(12500*$10)	$ 1,25,000
	Less:Variable Costs(12500*$6)	$ 75,000
	Contribution margin	$ 50,000
	Less:Fixed Costs(10000*$3)	$ 30,000
	Net Income	$ 20,000
	So Option C is answer

4	Material Price Variance =Actual quantity used*(Standard Price - Actual Price)
	Material Price Variance =157,000*$2.35 - $392,150 =$23,200(Unfavourable)
	So Option B is answer

5	Sales(14000*$29)	$ 4,06,000
	Less:Variable Costs(14000*$9)	$ 1,26,000
	Contribution margin	$ 2,80,000
	Less:Fixed Costs	$ 93,500
	Net Income	$ 1,86,500
	So Option D is answer
