direct labor........................... 40,100 hr. at $14.60 per hr.
Direct material purchased.............. 25,000 lb. at $2.60 per lb.
Direct material used....................23,100 lb
The control valve has the following standard prime costs:
Direct material: 3 lb at $2.50 per lb.................. $ 7.50
Direct labor: 5 hr at $15.00 per hr.................. 75.00
Standard prime cost per unit............................$82.50

2. For the month of January, compute the following variances, indicating whether each is favorable or unfavorable.
a. Direct-material price variance
b. Direct-material quantity variance
c. Direct-labor rate variance
d. Direct-labor efficiency variance
3. Build a spreadsheet: Construct an Excel spreadsheet to solve all of the preceding requirements. Show how the solution will change if the following information changes: the standard direct-labor rate is $16 per hour, and the standard direct-material price is $2.60 per pound.
