Question:

Juhee and Michael Williamson own J&M Burgers, an Austin, TX eatery that is famous for its whopping 1-pound hamburger made with fresh ground beef and cooked to order. Together with a side of "all you can eat" country style French fries, one of J&M's hamburgers makes for a very satisfying meal. On an average day, J&M serves 200 1-pound hamburgers. J&M budgets to use 225 pounds of ground beef to make 200 1-pound hamburgers be-cause some hamburgers invariably are overcooked or dropped on the floor (and therefore must be discarded). Finally, J&M budgets to pay $3 per pound of ground beef.
For the most recent week (J&M Burgers is open 7 days a week), J&M served 1,200 1-pound hamburgers using 1,250 pounds of ground beef. In addition, J&M paid their suppliers $3.20 per pound of ground beef for the 1,250 pounds actually used during the week.
Required:
a. What is J&M's ground beef price variance for the most recent week?
b. What is J&M's ground beef quantity variance for the most recent week?
