(8). Computation of Variencess:

  (A). Direct Material Quantity Vaience:

  Material Quantity Vaience = 1,500 - 1,600 * 35

   = 100 * 35

   = 3,500 Unfavarable

(B). Direct Material Price Varience:

   Material Price Varience = (1,600 * 32) - (1,600 * 35)

   = 51,200 - 56,000

   = 4,800 Unfavarable

(C). Labour Time Varience:

Material Price Varience = 5,500 * 11

= 60,500

(D). Labour Rate Varience:

Labour Rate Varience = (4,500 * 11.80) - (4,500 * 11)

   = 53,100 - 49,500

= 3,600 Favarable
