Explanation / Answer

1 a Direct Material cost variance Direct Material Price Variance (Standard Price - Actual Price)*Actual Quantity 21000 (1.80-2.20)*21000 -8400 U (1.80-2.20)*1.75 -0.7 U Direct Material quantity variance 21600 (Standard quantity allowed - Actual quantity used)*standard price per unit 21000 (21600-21000)*1.80 1080 F (1.80-1.75)*1.80 0.09 F Direct material cost variance -7320 U b Direct Labor cost variance Direct Labor rate variance 11400 (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual hours (19-18.40)*11400 6840 F (19-18.40)*0.95 0.57 F Direct Labor efficiency variance (Actual hours worked- standard hours allowed)*Standard rate 10800 (11400-10800)*19 11400 U (0.95-0.90)*19 0.95 U Labor cost variance -4560 U c Variable overhead efficiency variance (Actual hours worked- standard hours allowed)*Standard rate (11400-10800)*6.40 3840 U (0.95-0.90)*6.40 0.32 U Variable overhead rate variance (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual hours 11400 (6.40-6)*11400 4560 F (6.40-6)*0.95 0.38 F Variable cost variance 720 F 2 Materials Quantity Variance 0.09 F Price Variance 0.7 U 0.61 U Labor Efficiency Variance 0.95 U Rate Variance 0.57 F 0.38 U Variable overhead Efficiency Variance 0.32 U Rate Variance 0.38 F 0.06 F Excess of actual over standard cost per unit 0.93 U 3 Excess of actual over standard cost per unit 0.93 U Less : portion attributable to labor inefficiency Labor Efficiency 0.95 U Variable overhead efficiency variance 0.32 U Portion due to other variances -2.2 U
