Expert Solution

1)Direct material variance =Actual cost -standard cost

Silver charm : 18055- [1650*11]

                      18055 -18150

                        -95 F

Material price variance = Actual cost -[AQ*SR]

                      18055- [785*22]

                       18055- 17270

                          785 U

Material quantity variance =SR[AQ-SQ]

                             22[785-(1650*.50)]

                             22[785 -825]

                              - 880 F

Cyrstal charm:

Total material variance = 1105.5-[1650*.7]

            1105.5 -1155

                -49.5F

Material price variance = 1105.5 - [3350*.35]

              1105.5 -1172.5

                -67F

Material quantity variance = .35[3350-(1650*2)]

           .35[3350-3300]

                17.5U

2)Total labor variance =actual cost-standard cost

         30187.5- [1650*18]

         30187.5- 29700

          487.5 U

labor rate variance =Actual cot -[AH*SR]

         30187.5- [2625*12]

            30187.5 - 31500

          - 1312.5 F

Labor efficiency variance =SR[AH-SH]

          12[2625-(1650*1.5)]

            12[2625-2475]

          1800 U
