### Variance Analysis Input and Calculations

This section will guide you through the input data used for computing various variances and their respective formulas. The table provides a structured format for entering the necessary data and includes placeholders for variance formulas.

#### Materials Variance Input
1. **Materials Price Variance Input**
    - **Actual cost of material per pound (ounce, etc.):** $15.90
    - **Standard cost of material per pound (ounce, etc.):** $16.00

2. **Materials Quantity Variance Input**
    - **Actual quantity of materials used:** 39,500 
    - **Standard quantity of materials used for actual output:** 38,000

#### Labor Variance Input
3. **Labor Rate Variance Input**
    - **Actual cost of labor per hour:** $8.05
    - **Standard cost of labor per hour:** $8.00

4. **Labor Efficiency Variance Input**
    - **Actual quantity of hours incurred:** 44,000
    - **Standard quantity of hours for actual output:** 45,600

#### Answer Section
Below lists the variances calculated based on the input data. "F" denotes favorable, and "U" denotes unfavorable.

1. **Material Price Variance**
    - **Value:** ($3,950)
    - **Indication:** F (Favorable)

2. **Material Quantity Variance**
    - **Value:** 24,000
    - **Indication:** U (Unfavorable)

3. **Total Materials Variance**
    - **Formula Placeholder:** FORMULA3
    - **Indication Placeholder:** FORMULA10

4. **Labor Rate Variance**
    - **Formula Placeholder:** FORMULA4
    - **Indication Placeholder:** FORMULA11

5. **Labor Efficiency Variance**
    - **Formula Placeholder:** FORMULA5
    - **Indication Placeholder:** FORMULA12

6. **Total Labor Variance**
    - **Formula Placeholder:** FORMULA6
    - **Indication Placeholder:** FORMULA13

7. **Total Materials and Labor Variances**
    - **Formula Placeholder:** FORMULA7

This table is designed to be used as a template for variance analysis calculations in an educational setting, ensuring a clear and structured approach to determining and understanding cost variances in production and labor.
