	Materials Used			Direct Labor		Variable Manufacturing Overhead
Total standard cost allowed*	$	9,540		$	5,936	$	1,484
Actual costs incurred	$	8,645			?	$	1,690
Materials price variance		?
Materials quantity variance	$	1,575	U
Labor rate variance					?
Labor efficiency variance					?
Variable overhead rate variance							?
Variable overhead efficiency variance							?

*For the month's production.

The following additional information is available for March’s production:


Actual direct labor-hours		795
Difference between standard and actual cost per backpack produced during March	$	0.20	F
