Expert Solution

Material price variance = (Actual price - Standard price) * Actual quantity purchased

Material price variance = ($172,000/10,000 - $18) * 10,000

Material price variance = ($17.2 - 18) * 10,000 = $8,000 Favorable

Material quantity variance = (Standard quantity - Actual quantity used) * Standard price

Actual quantity used = 10,000 + 2,000 - 5,000 = 7,000 yards

Material quantity variance = (3,000*2.2 - 7,000) * $18

Material quantity variance = (6,600 - 7,000) * $18 = $7,200 Unfavorable

Labor rate variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate) * Actual hours

Labor rate variance = ($82,500/7,500 - $10) * 7,500

Labor rate variance = ($11 - 10) * 7,500 = $7,500 Unfavorable

Labor efficiency variance = (Standard hours - Actual hours) * Standard rate

Labor efficiency variance = (3,000*2.6 - 7,500) * $10

Labor efficiency variance = (7,800 - 7,500) * $10 = $3,000 Favorable
