Verifieda.SQ = 3, 100 units × 9.3 pounds per unit = 28, 830 pounds
Materials quantity variance = (AQ - SQ)× SP
= (30, 370 pounds - 28, 830 pounds)× $8.00 per pound
= (1, 900 pounds)× $8.00 per pound
= $12, 320 U
b.Materials price variance = (AQ × AP)- (AQ × SP)
= ($264, 420)- (33, 900 pounds × $8.00 per pound)
= $264, 420 - $271, 200
= $6, 780 F
c.SH = 3, 100 units × 0.4 hours per unit = 1, 240 hours
Labor efficiency variance = (AH - SH)× SR
= (1, 340 hours - 1, 240 hours)× $19.00 per hour
= (100 hours)× $19.00 per hour
= $1, 900 U
d.Labor rate variance = (AH × AR)- (AH × SR)
= $27, 872 - (1, 340 hours × $19.00 per hour)
= $27, 872 - $25, 460
= $2, 412 U
e.SH = 3, 100 units × 0.4 hours per unit = 1, 240 hours
Variable overhead efficiency variance = (AH - SH)× SR
= (1, 340 hours - 1, 240 hours)× $7.00 per hour
= (100 hours)× $7.00 per hour
= $700 U
f.Variable overhead rate variance = (AH × AR)- (AH × SR)
= $8, 844 - (1, 340 hours × $7.00 per hour)
= $8, 844 - $9, 380
= $536 F
