SOLUTION
Direct-material price variance = AQ x (AP* – SP)
= 15,000 x 2.20$ – 2.00$
Direct-material purchase price variance = PQ x (AP – SP)
= 15,000 x 2.20$ – 2.00$
Direct-material quantity variance = SP x (AQ – SQ*)
= 2.00$ x 15,000 – 14,500
Direct-labor rate variance = AH x (AR* – SR)
= 4,000 x 18.90$ – 18.00$
Direct-labor efficiency variance = SR x (AH – SH*)
= 18.00$ x 4,000 – 3,625
Variable-overhead spending variance = actual VOH – (AQ x SVR)
= 5,500$ – 4,000 x 1.50$
Fixed-overhead volume variance =budgeted FOH – applied fixed overhead*
= 12,500$ – 10,875$
