Explanation / Answer

Direct Material price variance = (Actual price - Standard price) x Actual qty

Direct Material Quantity variance = (Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity) x Standard price

Direct Labor rate variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate) x Actual hours

Direct Labor Efficiency variance = (Actual Hours - Standard Hours) x Standard rate

Material Measurement Std Qty Std cost per unit Std qty for actual output of 1000 Actual Price Actual quantity in production Material Price variance Price variance remarks Material Quantity variance Price Quantity remarks M- A Yard                 5.00              22.00              5,000              21.50              4,900                   (2,450.00) Favorable (2,200.00) Favorable M- B Gallon                 2.50              18.00              2,500              18.75              3,050                     2,287.50 Unfavorable     9,900.00 Unfavorable M- C Pound              10.00                 5.00            10,000                 6.00            11,000                   11,000.00 Unfavorable     5,000.00 Unfavorable M- D Piece              15.00              30.00            15,000              29.00            15,250                (15,250.00) Favorable     7,500.00 Unfavorable
