Whitaker · Answer 1

Standard material quantity allowed = 270 units * 8 pounds

= 2,160

Material Price variance = Actual Quantity (Standard price - Actual price)

= 2,100 (3.90 - 4.00)

= 210 Unfavorable

Material Qty variance = Standard price (Standard quantity - Actual quantity)

= 3.90 (2,160 - 2,100)

= 234 Favorable

Total Material Variance:

= (Standard quantity * Standard price) - (Actual Quantity * Actual price)

= (2,160 * 3.90) - (2,100 * 4)

= 24 Favorable

Labour rate variance = Actual hours (Standard rate - Actual rate)

= 1390 (14 - 13.80)

= 278 Favorable

Labor efficiency variance = Standard rate (Standard hours-Actual hours)

= 14 (1350 - 1390)

= 560 Unfavorable

Total Labour cost variance:

= (Standard hours * Standard rate) - (Actual Hours * Actual rate)

= (1350 * 14) - (1390 * 13.80)

= 282 Unfavorable
