Read the requirements. Requirement 1. Compute the cost and efficiency variances for direct materials and direct labor. Begin with the cost variances. Select the required formulas, compute the cost variances for direct materials and direct labor, and identify whether each variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). (Abbreviations used: AC = actual cost; AQ = actual quantity; FOH = fixed overhead; SC = standard cost; SQ standard quantity.)

For manufacturing overhead, compute the variable overhead cost and efficiency variances and the fixed overhead cost and volume variances. Smartsets's management used better quality materials during September. Discuss the trade-off between the two direct material variances.
