Explanation / Answer

Std Quantity allowed for actual output (350 units @10 pounds): 3500 pounds Std price per pound: $ 2.90 per pound Actual Quantity required: 2100 pounds Actual price per pound (6510/2100): $ 3.10 per pound Total Material variance: Std quantity *Std price - Actual Qty-Actual price 3500*2.90 -2100*3.10 = $ 3640 Fav Material price variance: Actual quantity (Std price-Actual price) 2100 (2.9-3.10) = $ 420 Unfav Material Quantity Variance= Std price (Std quantity-Actual Quantity) 2.90 (3500-2100) = $ 4060 Fav Std Llabour hours allowed for actual output (350*3hrs): 1050 hours Std rate per hour: $ 13 per hour Actual hours used: 1080 hours Actual rate per hour (13932/1080)= $ 12.90 per hour Total Labour cost Variance: Std hours*Std rate-Actual hours*Actual rate 1050*13 - 1080*12.90 = $ 282 Unfav Labour rate variance: Actual hours (Std rate-Actual rate) 1080 (13.00-12.90)= $ 108 Fav Labour efficiency variance: Std rate (Std hours-Actual hours) 13.00 (1050-1080) = $390 unfav
