FAR Company produces a line of all-vinyl mats. Each doormat calls for 0.4 meter of vinyl material that costs $3.10 per meter. In August 2025 the division manufactured and sold 60,000 doormats. During the month, 25,200 meters of vinyl material were used at a total cost of $73,080. Calculate the direct materials price variance, the direct materials quantity variance and the total direct materials variance and state whether they are favorable or not. Provide one reasonable cause for each of the three variances.
