During August, the company produced 5,300 Brainbuster toys. Production data on the toy for August follow:

Direct labor: 7,390 direct labor-hours were worked at a cost of $57,642.

Material quantity variance: ???

Material price variance: ???

Labor efficiency variance: ???

Labor rate variance: ???

Direct materials: 6 diodes per toy at $0.34 per diode Direct labor: 1.3 hours per toy at $7.40 per hour

Explanation / Answer

quantity purchased × Standard price) =71,000 *($0.32-$0.34) = -1420 Materials quantity variance = (Actual quantity used × Standard price) - (Standard quantity allowed × Standard price) = 71,000*$0.34 -5,300*6*$0.34 =13328 b.Labor rate variance = (Actual hours worked × Actual rate) - (Actual hours worked × Standard rate) labor price variances = 7,390*($57,642/7,390 - $13) = 48035 Labor efficiency variance = (Actual hours worked × Standard rate) - (Standard hours allowed × Standard rate) = 7,390*$7.40 - 5,300*1.3*$7.40 =3700
