Explanation of Solution

Calculate material price variance:

Materialpricevariance=[(ActualPriceStandardPrice)×ActualQuantity]=[($8.50$8)×1,900]=$950U

Calculate materials quantity variance:

Materialsquantityvariance=[(ActualQuantity-StandardQuantity)×Standardprice]=[1,900lb(1,000lb×2pounds)]×$8=$800F

Calculate Labor rate variance:

Laborratevariance =[(ActualPriceStandardPrice)×ActualQuantity]=[($10.20$10)×900]=$180U

Calculate labor efficiency variance:

laborefficiencyvariance=[(ActualQuantityStandardQuantity)×Standardprice]=[900(1,000×1lb)]×$10=$1,000F
