Hi could someone please help me with this question

You work in the accounting department of Frobisher Company, a manufacturing company that produces a popular consumer product. You typically prepare the variance analysis report and present it to the management committee for their review. Un- fortunately, the accounting system has been down and the information you have is incomplete. However, you want to impress the management committee by preparing the variance analysis on a timely basis. You recall that manufacturing overhead cost is applied to production on the basis of direct-labour hours and that all of the materials purchased during the period were used in production. The standard costs for production are presented as follows: Direct materials, 9 kilograms @ $3.00 per kilogram $3.00 Direct labour. 1.2 direct labour hours @ $15.00 per direct labour hour 18.00 Variable manufacturing overhead.1.2 direct labour hours @$3.00 per direct labour hour 3.60 Fixed manufacturing overhead, 12 direct labour hours @$7.00 per direct labour hour M m The following table presents the information and analysis that you had generated before the accounting system went down: Total Stan- Price or Hate Spending or Budget lEluantity or E'lficien- V in 0 me dard Cost Variance Variance cy Variance _ Variance Direct materials $202,500 $3.450F $4.500\" Direct labour $135000 $7.275U $10.500U Variable manufactur- ing overhead $21000 $550F Fixed manufacturi rig overhead $63.00!? $250F $7,000U In order to be prepared for the management committee meeting, you want to generate the missing variances and also have the necessary "backup" data ready. Required: . How many units were produced last period? . How many kilograms of direct material were purchased and used in production? . What was the actual cost per kilogram of material? . How many actual direct-labour hours were worked during the period? . What was the actual rate paid per direct labour hour? . How much actual variable manufacturing overhead was incurred during the period? . What is the total fixed manufacturing overhead cost in the company's flexible budget? . What were the denominator direct labour hours for the last period
