Variance Analysis
In layman's terms, variance analysis is an analysis of a difference between planned and actual behavior. Variance analysis is mainly used by the companies to maintain a control over a business. After analyzing differences, companies find the reasons for the variance so that the necessary steps should be taken to correct that variance.
Standard Costing
The standard cost system is the expected cost per unit product manufactured and it helps in estimating the deviations and controlling them as well as fixing the selling price of the product. For example, it helps to plan the cost for the coming year on the various expenses.

Question
![## Required Information
**[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]**
A manufactured product has the following information for June:
| | Standard | Actual |
|-------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------|
| Direct materials | 5 lbs. @ $7 per lb. | 44,500 lbs. @ $7.10 per lb. |
| Direct labor | 2 hrs. @ $16 per hr. | 17,400 hrs. @ $16.50 per hr. |
| Overhead | 2 hrs. @ $11 per hr. | $200,200 |
| Units manufactured| | 8,800 |
Compute the direct materials price variance and the direct materials quantity variance. **(Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting favorable, unfavorable, and no variance. Round "Cost per unit" answers to 2 decimal places.)**
- AQ = Actual Quantity
- SQ = Standard Quantity
- AP = Actual Price
- SP = Standard Price
### Diagram Explanation:
The empty table below is set up to calculate the costs using both actual and standard figures. The left side of the diagram is labeled “Actual Cost” and the right side is labeled “Standard Cost” with sections left blank for data entry.
Here, you will calculate the variances:
- **Direct Materials Price Variance**: (AP - SP) × AQ
- **Direct Materials Quantity Variance**: (AQ - SQ) × SP
Use the diagram to fill in these calculations, as each space corresponds to different elements in the formulas mentioned above.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Ff0e6a15e-8923-4b70-967c-767e9181f633%2F92adde7f-8902-41a2-9b19-6546586b04cf%2Fgkr6vvh_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
