Problem #1
Planned (master budget) was for 1,000,000 units in batches of 25,000 units. So, number of batches is 1,000,000/25,000=40 batches.
Flexible number of batches=actual production units/25,000 units per batch=1,125,000/25,000=45 batches
Problem #2
a. Total direct material cost variance=Actual-Budget
Actual=given as $205,150
Budget=$4 per ball * 40,000 soccer balls=$160,000
Variance= $45,150
b. Total direct labor cost ...
