Can you please help me with question 2 . I'm having problems figuring out how to do it. An in depth explanation would be great. Thanks in advance.

BUSI 294 Assignment - Variance Analysis Question 1 Chisholm Company produces several products, including a karate robe. The company uses a standard cost system to assist in cost control. According to the standards that have been set for the robes, the factory has a denominator level of activity of 780 direct labour hours which should result in the production of 1,950 robes. The standard costs associated with this level of production are as follows: Direct materials Direct labour Variable manufacturing overhead* Fixed manufacturing overhead* Total $35,490 7,020 2,340 4,680 $ per unit of product $18.20 3.60 1.20 2.40 $25.40 * Based on direct labour hours During May, the factory worked only 760 direct labour hours and produced 2,000 robes. The following actual costs were recorded during the month: Direct materials (6,000 metres) Direct labour Variable manufacturing overhead* Fixed manufacturing overhead* Total $36,000 7,600 3,800 4,600 $ per unit of product $18.00 3.80 1.90 2.30 $26.00 At standard, each robe should require 2.80 metres of material. All of the materials purchased during the month were used in production. Required: Compute the following variances for April: 1. 2. 3. 4. The materials and quantity variances The labour rate and efficiency variances The variable manufacturing overhead spending and efficiency variances The fixed overhead budget and volume variances Question 2 You work in the accounting department of Frobisher Company, a manufacturing company that produces a popular consumer product. You typically prepare the variance analysis report and present it to the management committee for their review. Unfortunately, the accounting system has been down and the information you have is incomplete. However, you want to impress the management committee by preparing the variance analysis on a timely basis. You recall that manufacturing overhead cost is applied to production on the basis of direct-labour hours and that all of the materials purchased during the period were used in production. The standard costs for production are presented as follows: Direct materials, 9 kilograms @ $3.00 per kilogram Direct labour, 1.2 direct labour hours @ $15.00 per direct labour hour Variable manufacturing overhead, 1.2 direct labour hours @$3.00 per direct labour hour Fixed manufacturing overhead, 1.2 direct labour hours @$7.00 per direct labour hour $27.00 18.00 3.60 8.40 $57.00 The following table presents the information and analysis that you had generated before the accounting system went down: Direct materials Direct labour Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead Total Standard Cost $202,500 $135,000 Price or Rate Variance $3,450F $7,275U Spending or Budget Variance $27,000 $650F $63,000 $250F Quantity or Efficiency Variance $4,500U $10,500U Volume Variance $7,000U In order to be prepared for the management committee meeting, you want to generate the missing variances and also have the necessary \"backup\" data ready. Required: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. How many units were produced last period? How many kilograms of direct material were purchased and used in production? What was the actual cost per kilogram of material? How many actual direct-labour hours were worked during the period? What was the actual rate paid per direct labour hour? How much actual variable manufacturing overhead was incurred during the period? What is the total fixed manufacturing overhead cost in the company's flexible budget? What were the denominator direct labour hours for the last period
