4)labor volume variance = SR [AH-SH]

                           = 20 [5000- (11000*.5)]

                           = 20[5000- 5500]

                          = 20 * -500

                          = - 10000 F

correct option is "B"

5)correct option is "B" -10000   [since labor volume variance also called labor efficiency variance]

6) Flexible Budget variance for Mystery material = Actual cost - [Actual units *SQ per unit *SR]

                               = 346500- [11000*10*3]

                              = 346500 - 330000

                               = 16500 U

Correct option is "A"

8)price variance for mystery material M = ACual cost -[AQ*SR]

                                         = 346500 - [99000*3]

                                         = 346500 -297000

                                       = 49500 U

Correct option is "c"
