The Bergie Restaurant Group manufactures the bags of frozen French fries used at its franchised restaurants. Last week, Bergle's purchased and used 97,000 pounds of potatoes at a price of $0.80 per pound. During the week, 1,800 direct labor hours were incurred in the plant at a rate of S12.10 per hour. The standard price per pound of potatoes is $0.90, and the standard direct labor rate is $11.00 per hour. Standards indicate that for the number of bags of frozen fries produced, the factory should have used 93,000 pounds of potatoes and 1,600 10 hours direct labor Read the requirements Requirement 1. Determine the direct material price and quantity variances. Be sure to label each variance as favorable or unfavorable. (Enter the variances as positive numbers. Enter currency amounts to the nearest cent and your answers to the nearest whole dollar. Label the variances as favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). Abbreviations used: DM = Direct materials.) Begin by determining the formula for the price variance, then compute the price variance for direct materials. X Requirements price variance 1. Determine the direct material price and quantity variances. Be sure to label each variance as favorable or unfavorable. 2. Think of a plausible explanation for the variances found in Requirement 1. 3. Determine the direct labor rate and efficiency variances. Be sure to label each variance as favorable or unfavorable. 4. Could the explanation for the labor variances be tied to the material variances? Explain Print Done
