d. Labor quantity variance

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Selling price of tybo per unit = $8

Estimated production units in March = 9,500

Standard material and labor costs:

Particulars        Standard          Standard          Standard

                          quantity           price                 per unit

Direct materials 2.5 pounds    $3 per pound   $7.50

Direct labor        0.6 hours       $10 per hour    $6.00

Actual production units in March = 9,000

Actual materials and labor costs:

Actual results:

Purchase of materials, 24,000 pounds = $66,000

Production usage = 24,000 pounds

Total labor hours = 5,000

Total wage cost = $55,000

Particulars              Actual             Actual            Actual Cost

                            quantity             price               per unit

Direct materials 2.67 pounds   $2.79 per pound  $7.45

Direct labor        0.555 hours   $11 per hour          $6.11

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

= ($7.50 - $7.45) * 9,000

= $450 F

Material quantity variance = (Standard Qty - Actual Qty) * Standard Price

= (23,750 - 24,000) * $3

= $750 U

Labor price variance = (Standard price - Actual price) * Actual hours

= ($6.00 - $6.11) * 5,000

= $550 U

Labor quantity variance =  (Standard Qty - Actual Qty) * Standard Price

= (5,700 - 5,000) * $10

= 700 * $10

= $7,000 F
