Units produced Materials purchased and used Actual direct labor costs 3,000 lbs. $11 per lb 21,000 hours costing $294,000 Required: a. Calculate the direct materials price variance. b. Calculate the direct materials quantity variance. c. Calculate the direct labor rate variance. ( 10)X Rooo-L Rio: h _A 094c 0-1 ,093 980 Calculate the direct labor efficiency (time) variance. B-A d.

Explanation / Answer

a. Direct Material price variance = (Standard Price - Actual price ) x Actual quantity
= ($10 - $11) x 43,000 = $43,000 Unfavorable

b. Direct Material quantity variance = (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) x Standard Price
= (4 x 11000 - 43,000) x $10= $10,000 Favorable

c. Direct labor rate variance = (Standard rate- Actual rate ) x Actual hours
= ($15 - $294,000 / 21,000) x 21,000= $21,000 Favorable

d. Direct labor efficiency variance = (Standard hours- Actual hours ) x Standard rate
= (11,000 x 2 - 21,000) x $15= $15,000 Favorable
