Sound Sleep Mills uses a standard cost system. During May, Sound Sleep manufactured 15,000 pillowcases, using 27,000 yards of fabric costing $3.05 per yard and incurring direct labor costs of $19,140 for 3,300 hours of direct labor. The standard cost per pillowcase assumes 1.75 yards of fabric at $3.10 per yard and 0.20 hours of direct labor at $5.95 per hour.
1. Compute both the price variance and quantity variance relating to direct materials used in the manufacture of pillowcases in May.
2. Compute both the price variance and efficiency variance for direct labor costs incurred in the manufacture of pillowcases in May.
