Exercise $10-8($Algo$)$ Direct Materials and Direct Labor Variances $[$LO$10-1,$ LO$10-2]$

Dawson Toys, Limited, produces a toy called the Maze. The company has recently created a standard cost system to help control costs and has established the following standards for the Maze toy:

Direct materials: $7$ microns per toy at $$0\mathrm{.}33$ per micron

Direct labor: $1\mathrm{.}3$ hours per toy at $$7\mathrm{.}30$ per hour

During July, the company produced $5,500$ Maze toys. The toy's production data for the month are as follows:

Direct materials: $76,000$ microns were purchased at a cost of $$0\mathrm{.}31$ per micron. $27,875$ of these microns were still in inventory at the end of the month.

Direct labor: $7,550$ direct labor$-$hours were worked at a cost of $$59,645.$

Required:

$1.$ Compute the following variances for July: $($Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting $"$F$"$ for favorable, $"$U$"$ for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect $($i$.$e$.,$ zero variance$).$ Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.$)$

a$.$ The materials price and quantity variances.

b$.$ The labor rate and efficiency variances.
