Wisner Fabrication prepares its budgets on the basis of standard costs. Variances are analyzed and reported monthly. There are no materials Inventories. The following information relates to the current period: Standard costs (per unit of output) Direct materials, 5 pounds @ $12.00 per pound Direct labor, 1.5 hours @ $30 per hour Factory overhead Variable (30% of material cost) Total standard cost per unit Actual costs and activities for the month follow: Materials used Output Actual labor costs Actual variable overhead $ 68 45 18 S 123 26,395 pounds at $ 12.59 per pound 5,310 units 9,320 hours at $ 33.90 per hour $ 97,690 Required: Prepare a cost varlance analysis for the variable costs. Note: Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar amount. Indicate the effect of each varlance by selecting "F" for favorable, or "U" for unfavorable.

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