14. Spending Variance related to Sales Salaries and Commissions
Actual Salaries and Commission = $350,750
Budgeted Salaries and Commission = $120,000 + ($11 x 25,000) = $395,000
Spending variance related to salaries and commissions = $350,750 - $395,000 = $44,250 F
15. Spending Variance related to Shipping Expenses
Budgeted shipping expenses = $4 x 25,000 = $100,000
Actual shipping expenses = $105,000
spending variance related to shipping expense = $105,000 - $100,000 = $5,000 U
5. Material Price Variance = ( Standard Price - Actual Price ) × Actual Quantity
($9 - $7.50) x 185,000 = $277,500 (F)
