Dash Company adopted a standard costing system several years ago. The standard costs for the prime costs (i.e., direct materials and direct labor) of its single product are:

Units completed		6,300	units
Budgeted output		6,700	units
Purchases of materials		57,000	kilograms
Total actual direct labor costs	$	600,000
Actual direct labor hours		33,500	hours
Materials usage variance	$	2,400	Unfavorable
Total materials variance	$	690	Unfavorable

Required:

1. Compute for November:

a. The direct labor efficiency variance. Is this variance favorable (F) or unfavorable (U)?

b. The direct labor rate variance. Is this variance favorable (F) or unfavorable (U)?

c. The actual number of kilograms of material used in the production process during the month.

d. The actual price paid per kilogram of material during the month, the company calculates the direct materials price variance at point of purchase.
