John's Weed-B-Gone yard service sprays lawns to rid them of
weeds. John mixes the two chemicals, Weed-X and Pest-O, in
proportions depending on the climate and the particular weed
problems of the season. A standard mix calls for a gallon of the
mixture to combine equal parts of Weed-X and Pest-O. Weed-X
has a standard cost of $10.40 per gallon and Pesto-O has a
standard cost of $25.20 per gallon. Each gallon can treat 100
square yards of lawn. John expects to treat 535,000 square
yards of lawn.
For the past season, John treated 646,000 square yards. He
used 3,600 gallons of Weed-X and 3,400 gallons of Pest-O. He
paid a total of $30,960 for the Weed-X and $82,960 for the
Pest-O.
Required:
a. Compute the materials price and efficiency variances for the
season. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Indicate the
effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, or "U" for
unfavorable. If there is no effect, do not select either option.)
b. Compute the materials mix and yield variances for the
season. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Indicate the
effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, or "U" for
unfavorable. If there is no effect, do not select either option.)
