Question 19
The formula for direct material price variance is given by
(Standard price – Actual price) x Quantity.
Using this, we have
(5-4.95)*7000 = 350.
Since the actual price is lower than the standard price, it is a favorable variance. Hence the right answer is $350 F
Question 20
The formula for direct labor price variance is given by
(Standard rate – Actual rate) x Total Hours
Using this we have
(8-7.95)*1400 = 70
Since the actual price is lower than the standard price, the variance is favorable. Hence the right answer is $70 F
