Answer 1

1) Direct material price variance = (1.5*1020-1326) = 204 F

2) Direct material quantity variance = (720*1.2-1020)*1.5 = 234 U

3) Total Direct material variance = (720*1.8-1326) = 30 U

4) Direct labor rate variance = (12*780-8970) = 390 F

5) Direct labor efficiency variance = (720*.8-780)*12 = 2448 U

6) Direct labor spending variance = (720*9.6-8970) = 2058 U
