Production data for the month on the toy follow: Direct materials: 73,000 microns were purchased at a cost of $0.30 per micron. 30,125 of these microns were still in inventory at the end of the month. Direct labor: 7,850 direct labor-hours were worked at a cost of $61,230 Required: 1. Compute the following variances for July: (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round final answer to the nearest whole dollar. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).) a. The materials price and quantity variances. Material price variance Material quantity variance

Explanation / Answer

a Materials price variance=73000*(0.30-0.33)= $2190 F Materials quantity variance=0.33*(42875-4900*7)= $2830 U b Labor rate variance=61230-(7850*7.2)= $4710 U Labor efficiency variance=7.2*(7850-4900*1.5)= $3600 U
