Requirement 1. Calculate the direct material price variance.

Begin by determining the formula for the price variance, then compute the price variance for the direct materials. (Enter the variance as a positive number. Enter currency amounts in the formula to the nearest cent and then round the final variance amount to the nearest whole dollar. Label the variance as favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). Abbreviations used: DM = Direct materials)

Requirement 1. Calculate the direct labor rate variance.

Determine the formula for the rate variance, then compute the rate variance for the direct labor. (Enter the result as a positive number. Label the variance as favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). Enter the currency amount in the formula to the nearest cent, then round the final variance amount to the nearest whole dollar. Abbreviations used: DL = Direct labor.)
