Flexible Actual
Budget Results Variances*
Sales (24,000 units) $3,600,000 $3,648,000 $48,000 F
Variable costs
Direct materials 1,440,000 1,400,000 40,000 F
Direct labor 312,000 360,000 48,000 U
*F = Favorable variance; and U = Unfavorable variance
Part 2
(a) Analysis of sales variance
Total Per unit
Interpretation: The sales variance is favorable because the actual price was
higher than planned.
(b) Analysis of direct materials variance
Total Per unit
Interpretation: The direct materials variance is favorable for two possible
reasons. (1) The quantity of materials used might have been less than the
quantity budgeted, and/or (2) the amount paid for the materials might have been
less than the budgeted purchase price.
