Explanation:

230 production

Direct Materials

Quantity

(units x std quantity - actual quantity) x std rate

(230 x 8 - 1,900) x 2.50 = -150

Price

actual pounds x std rate - actual cost

1900 x 2.5 - 5,035 -  = -285

Total variance 435U

Direct Labor

Efficiency

(Standard rate x units - actual hours) x standard rate

(230 x 3 - 700) x 12 = -120

Rate

Actual hours x rate - Actual Labor cost

700 x 12 - 8,120 = 280

Total 260F
