ACE Math Academy provides math help for high school students. The organizations believes a small group learning environment allows students to become more comfortable in asking questions while being able to learn from other students. As a result, each instructor is expected to have a class of six students and each session is two hours long. There are four instructors and they are each being paid $35 per hour. Each session is expected to cost $30 for the student. For the month of June, the company expects 120 sessions.
By the end of the month the company noticed everything has met expectations expect the following
Instructors were being paid at $40 per hour
There were a total of 100 sessions in the month
students paid 34 per session
A) Calculate the selling price variance for the month.
B) Calculate the rate and efficiency variance per hour for direct labor
C) Calculate the total direct labor flexible budget variance
