Paynesville Corporation manufactures and sells a preservative used in food and drug manufacturing. The company carries no inventories. The master budget calls for the company to manufacture and sell 120,000 liters at a 

budgeted price of $225 per liter this year. The standard direct cost sheet for one liter of the preservative follows.

 

Direct materials(2 pounds @ $14)$28Direct labor(0.5 hours @ $44)22

Variable overhead is applied based on direct labor hours. The variable overhead rate is $120 per direct-labor hour. The fixed overhead rate (at the master budget level of activity) is $60 per unit. All non-manufacturing costs are 

fixed and are budgeted at $2.2 million for the coming year.

 

At the end of the year, the costs analyst reported that the sales activity variance for the year was $690,000 unfavorable.

The following is the actual income statement (in thousands of dollars) for the year.

Required:

a.Compute the direct material price and efficiency variances.

b.Compute the direct labor price and efficiency variances.

c.Compute the variable overhead price and efficiency variances.

(For all requirements, enter your answers in whole dollars. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, or "U" for unfavorable. If there is no effect, do not select either option.)

I can solve the price variance but can't seem to solve the efficiency variances.
