Compute variances for materials.

Instructions

For part a. Prepare a matrix and calculate the materials variances

a. Compute the total, price, and quantity variances for materials.

b. Assume Ceelo also had an unfavorable labor quantity variance. What is a possible scenario that would provide one cause for the variances computed in (a) and the unfavorable labor quantity variance?
