Huron Company produces a commercial cleaning compound known as Zoom. The direct materials and direct labor standards for one unit of Zoom are given below: Standard Quantity or Standard Price Standard Hours or Rate Cost Direct materials Direct labor 5.90 pounds 2.50 per pound 14.75 0.50 hours 8.50 per hour $ 4.25 During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded: a. Eleven thousand four hundred pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $2.40 per pound. b. The company produced only 1,140 units, using 10,260 pounds of material. (The rest of the material purchased remained in raw materials inventory.) c. 670 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $8,040 Required: Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.) Materials price variance Materials quantity variance

Explanation / Answer

Material price variance = (standard price-actual price)actual quantity

                                  = (2.50-2.40)11400

Material price variance = 1140 F

Material quantity variance = (standard quantity-actual quantity)standard price

                                       = (1140*5.9-10260)2.50

Material quantity variance = 8835 U
