Explanation / Answer

Direct materials price variance: Silver 350 U =7350-(350*20) Crystals 61 F =701.5-(3050*0.25) Direct materials quantity variance: Silver 500 F =20*(350-1500*0.25) Crystals 12.5 U =0.25*(3050-1500*2) Direct labor rate variance 1200 F =34800-(2400*15) Direct labor efficiency variance 2250 U =15*(2400-1500*1.5)
