Drasher had the following standards for one of its products, a wicker chair Click the icon to view the standards per chair) The following data were compiled regarding actual performance actual output units (chairs) produced, 2.000 square yards of input purchased and used, 5.600 price per square yard. 55.20, direct manufacturing labor costs, 510,692 actual hours of Input, 990, labor price per hour. 510.80 Read the requirements Requirement 1. Show computations of price and efficiency variances for direct materials and direct manufacturing labor Give a plausible explanation of why each variance occurred Let's begin by determining the formula used to calculate the actual costs of direct materials, then enter the amounts in the formula and calculate the cost Actual cost Direct materials Next we will calculate the actual input at the budgeted price Actual input Direct materials Direct manufacturing labor Determine the formula and calculate the costs for the flexible bude J = Flexible budget cost Direct materials Direct manufacturing labor Now compute the price and efficiency variances for direct materials and direct manufacturing labor. Label each variance as favorable (F) or unfavorable (U).
