The direct materials and direct labour standards for one bottle of Clean-All spray cleaner are given below: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost $2.17 $3.60 Direct materials. Direct labour 7.0 millilitres 0.3 hours $ 0.31 per millilitre $12.00 per hour During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded: a. 23,000 millilitres of material was purchased at a cost of $0.26 per millilitre. b. All of the material was used to produce 3,640 bottles of Clean-All. c. 600 hours of direct labour time was recorded at a total labour cost of $7,200. Assume that instead of producing 3,640 bottles of Clean-All during the month, the company produced only 2,000 bottles, using 19,000 millilitres of material. (The rest of the material purchased remained in raw materials inventory.) Materials price variance. Materials quantity variance Required. Compute the direct materials price and quantity variances for the month. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favourable, "U" for unfavourable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)

After analyzing differences, companies find the reasons for the variance so that the necessary steps should be taken to correct that variance.
