The trial balance for Windsor Corporation shows the following for its DM and DL variances at year$-$end, prior to closing entries. $($b$)$

Assume the company's threshold for determining the materiality of each variance is $5\%$ of its flexible budget cost. Calculate the

significance level of each DM variance in comparison to the DM flexible budget cost. Calculate the significance level of each DL

variance in comparison to the DL flexible budget cost. Compare each variance's significance level to the company's threshold of

$5\%.$ Which of these variances $($if any$)$ are concerning $($i$.$e$.,$ material$)$ to the company? $($Round answers to $2$ decimal places, e$.$g$.$

$15\mathrm{.}25\%.)$
