August Variance Analysis During September of the current year, Robin was asked to perform variance analyses for August. The January operating data provided the standard prices, rates, times, and quantities per case. There were 1,500 actual cases produced during August, which was 250 more cases than planned at the beginning of the month. Actual data for August were as follows: Actual Direct Actual Direct Material Materials Price Materials per Unit Quantity per Case Cream Base (OZ.) 0,016 102 Natural Oils (oz.) $ 0,32 31 Bottles 0,42 12,5 Actual Direct Activity Actual Direct Labor Time per Labor Rate Case (minutes) Mixing 18,20 19,50 Filling 14,00 5,60 Actual Variable Overhead tA 305,00 Normal Volume (Cases) 1.600The prices of the materials were different from standard due to uctuations in market prices. The standard quantity of materials used per case was an ideal standard. The Mixing Department used a higher grade labor classification during the month, thus causing the actual labor rate to exceed standard. The Filing Department used a lower grade labor classification during the month, thus causing the actual labor rate to be less than standard. Requirement #10: Determine the direct materials variance.
