Standard variable costs relating to a single backpack are given below Standard Quant or Hours Standard Price or Rate $6 per yard tandard Cost Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead $3 per direct labor-hour Total standard cost Overhead is applied to information relating to the month's production is given below ion on the basis of direct labor-hours. During March, 1,000 backpacks were manufactured and sold. Selected Variable Manufacturing Overhead $4,200 3,600 Materials Used Direct Labor $10,500 Total standard cost allowed Actual costs incurred Materials price variance Materials quantity variance Labor rate variance Labor efficiency variance Variable overhead rate variance Variable overhead efliciency variance $16,800 $15,000 $1.200U For the month's production The following additional information is available for March's production Actual direct labor-hours Diftlerence between standard and actual cost per backpack produced during March 1500 $0.15F Required: 1.
