Calculating Material and Labor Variances
Star Band Uniforms uses a standard costing system. The standard material and labor costs for producing a marching band hat is as follows:
Materials (0.70 yards × $10.00) $7.00
Direct labor (0.80 hours × $12.50) $10.0
During May, the company produced 3,000 band hats; 3,500 yards of material were purchased for $31,850, and 2,600 yards of material were used in production. Also during May, 3,100 direct labor hours were worked at a cost of $41,850. Calculate material price and quantity variances and labor rate and efficiency variances. Indicate whether the variances are favorable or unfavorable. (If answer is negative, put amount in parenthesis.)
