Explanation / Answer

[(Standard price x standard quantity per unit x actual units produced) - (Actual quantity x standard price)]

Important note – Please note that wherever the answer is favorable, please use negative sign & wherever unfavorable please use positive.

Standard direct material cost per unit Standard number of lbs. of brass 1.8 lbs. Standard price per lb. of brass $12.25 Standard direct material cost per unit $22.05 Standard direct labor cost per unit Standard wage per hour $12.00 Standard labor time per unit 20 mins Standard direct labor cost per unit $4.00 [ $12 x (20mins/60mins) ] Total standard cost per unit $26.05 Direct material cost variance - Direct material price variance: [(Standard price - actual price) x actual quantity] Standard price $12.25 Actual price $12.50 Actual quantity 12,793 lbs. Direct material price variance -$3,198.25 unfavorable Direct material quantity variance:

[(Standard price x standard quantity per unit x actual units produced) - (Actual quantity x standard price)]

Standard price $12.25 Standard quantity per unit 1.8 lbs. Actual units produced 6900 Actual quantity 12,793 lbs. Direct material quantity variance -$4,569.25 unfavorable Total direct material cost variance: -$7,767.50 unfavorable [(Standard quantity x standard price) - (actual quantity x actual price)] [(1.8 lbs. x 6900 x $12.25) - (12,793 lbs. x $12.50) Direct labor cost variance - Direct labor rate variance: [(Standard rate - actual rate) x actual hours] Standard rate per hour $12.00 Actual rate per hour $12.36 Actual hours 1440 Direct labor rate variance -$518.40 unfavorable Direct labor time variance: [(Standard hours for actual production - actual hours) x standard rate] Standard hours for 6900 units [6900 x (20mins/60mins)] 2300 Actual hours 1440 Standard rate $12.00 Direct labor time variance $10,320.00 favorable Total direct labor cost variance $9,801.60 favorable [(Standard hours x standard rate) - (actual hours x actual rate)] [(2300*12)-(1440*12.36)]

Important note – Please note that wherever the answer is favorable, please use negative sign & wherever unfavorable please use positive.
