Light chocolate
Required:
Prepare the following variance analyses for both chocolates and total, based on the actual results and production levels at the end of the budget year:
a. Direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total variance.
b. Direct labor rate variance, direct labor time variance, and total variance.
Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a
a.
b.
Direct materials price variance
Direct materials quantity variance
Total direct materials cost variance
Direct labor rate variance
Direct labor time variance
16 per hr.
Total direct labor cost variance
2. The variance analyses should be based on the
the
minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number. If there is no variance, enter a zero.

amounts at
volumes. The budget must flex with the volume changes. If
volume is different from the planned volume, as it was in this case, then the budget used for performance evaluation should reflect the change
production. In this way, spending from volume changes can be separated from
in direct materials and direct labor that will be required for the
efficiency and price variances.
