Answer a | ||||||||||||
Material price variance = [Actual quantity of raw material * Actual price] - [Actual quantity of raw material * Standard price] | ||||||||||||
Material price variance = [21450 lbs * $5.30] - [21450 lbs * $5.10] = $113685 - $109395 = $4290 U | ||||||||||||
Answer b | ||||||||||||
Material Efficiency Variance = [Actual quantity of raw material * Standard price] - [Standard quantity of raw material * Standard price] | ||||||||||||
Material Efficiency Variance = [21450 lbs * $5.10] - [22000 lbs * $5.10] = $109395 - $112200 = $2805 F | ||||||||||||
Answer c | ||||||||||||
Labour rate variance = [Actual labour hours * Actual labour rate] - [Actual labour hours * standard labour rate] | ||||||||||||
Labour rate variance = [34100 labour hours * $8.40] - [34100 labour hours * $8.70] = $286440 - $296670 = $10230 F | ||||||||||||
Answer d | ||||||||||||
Labour efficiency variance = [Actual labour hours * Standard labour rate] - [Standard labour hours * standard labour rate] | ||||||||||||
Labour efficiency variance = [34100 labour hours * $8.70] - [33000 labour hours * $8.70] = $296670 - $287100 = $9570 U | ||||||||||||
