Problem 10-9 Comprehensive Variance Analysis [LO10-1, LO10-2, LO10-3 Marvel Parts, Inc., manufactures auto accessories. One of the company's products is a set of seat covers that can be adjusted to fit nearly any small car. The company has a standard cost system in use for all of its products. According to the standards that have been set for the seat covers, the factory should work 1,045 hours each month to produce 2,090 sets of covers. The standard costs associated with this level of production are: 10 points Per Set Total of Cover Book Direct material Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead (based 49,533 $23.70 s 10.450 5.00 on direct labor-hours) s 4,598 2.20 $30.90 Print References During August, the factory worked only 800 direct labor-hours and produced 1,900 sets of covers.

All of the materials purchased during the month were used in production. Required: 1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for August 2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for August 3. Compute the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances for August (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.) < Prev 1 of 6 Next >
