    Variance analyse
    JRK Ltd produces and sells one product only, the Widget, the standard cost for one unit being as follows.
    The standard material cost is as follows:
    15 kg of material B at $8 per kg = $120 per unit of the Widget.
    The standard labour cost is as follows:
    8 hours of labour at $7.50 per hour = $60 per unit of the Widget.
    During the period 1,200 units of the Widget were made using 19,200 kg of material B that costs $147,500; labour cost was $69,400 for 9,800 hours worked.

    Find the
    a. The material total variance
    b. The material price variance
    c. The materials usage/quantity variance
    d. The labour total variance
    e. The labour rate variance
    f. The labour efficiency (productivity) variance

    a. The material total variance
    Std Qty allowed: 1200 x 15 x 8 = 144000
    Actual cost 147500
    Total variance 3500 (Unfavorable)

    b. The material price variance
    Act qty x std price: 19200 x 8 = 153600
    Actual cost 147500
    Price variance = 6100
    c. The materials usage/quantity variance
    Std qty allowed - act used x std [rice
    (1200 x 15)18000 - 19200 x 8 = 9600 (U)
    d. The labour total variance
    e. The labour rate variance
    f. The labour efficiency (productivity) variance

    I hope you can do the rest of the problem
