Answer:

See below

Explanation:

1a. Direct material price variance

= (Standard price - Actual price) × Actual quantity

= ( $5.85 - $5.90) × 33,000

= $1,650 unfavorable

1.b Direct materials quantity variance

= (Standard quantity - Actual quantity) × Standard price

= (63,000 × 0.5 - 33,000) × $5.85

= $8,775 unfavourable

2.a Direct labor rate variance

= (Standard rate - Actual rate) × Actual quantity

= ($21.70 - $20.7) × 10,700

= $10,700 favorable

2.b Direct labor efficiency variance

= (Standard quantity - Actual quantity) × Standard rate)

= [(10/60 × 63,000) - 10,700] × $21.7

= (10,500 - 10,700) × $21.7

= $4,340 unfavorable
