Material Quantity Variance:
The material quantity variance measures the efficiency of a production in terms of material utilization. It is computed by determining the difference between the standard quantity to used and actual quantity of material used in the production at the standard rate.
Labor Rate Variance:
At the actual direct labor hours, the variance between the actual direct labor cost based on actual rate incurred and the budgeted direct labor cost based on standard rate is called direct labor cost variance.
Direct Labor Efficiency Variance:
Direct labor efficiency variance measures the efficiency in utilization of direct labor costs by determining the difference between the actual labor hours and the direct labor hours allowed at the standard rate.
1. Determine the cost per unit of each variable
