The completed worksheet, with formulas displayed, is shown below.
Note: The formulas for to compute whether a variance is Favorable or
Unfavorable use the IF() function. For example, in cell C26, the formula is
=IF(F22>F23,”U”,IF(F22<F23,”F”,””)). This formula first checks whether
the actual quantity of input at the standard price (cell F22) exceeds the
standard quantity allowed for the actual output at the standard price (cell
F23). If it does, the function returns the value U, which is displayed in cell
C26. Otherwise, the formula checks whether the standard quantity allowed
for the actual output at the standard price (cell F23) exceeds the actual
