False

When calculating the labor rate variance, multiply the actual hours worked times the _______ labor rate and compare it to the actual hours worked times the _______ labor rate.

actual; standard

The difference between the actual price paid for the material and what should have been paid according to the standard is reflected in the direct materials _______ variance.

price

Standards are ______.

set for each major production input or task benchmarks for measuring performance compared to the actual quantities and costs of inputs

A benchmark used in measuring performance is called a(n) _______.

standard

The amount of direct-labor hours that should be used to produce one unit of finished goods is the _______ hours per unit.

standard

The final, delivered price that should be paid for each unit of direct materials is the _______ price per unit of materials.

standard or budgeted

Material requirements plus an allowance for normal inefficiencies are added together to determine the _______ _______ per unit of output for direct materials.

standard quantity

An unfavorable materials quantity variance occurs when ______.

the actual amount of material used is greater than the standard amount of material allowed for the actual output

The calculation of a standard price per unit of direct materials includes ______.

shipping costs purchase discounts purchase price of the materials

The labor efficiency variance is the difference between actual hours used and standard hours allowed multiplied by the ______ hourly rate.

standard

The standard price of materials is $3.50 per pound and the standard quantity allowed for actual output is 7,000 pounds. If the actual quantity purchased and used was 6,700 pounds, and the actual price per pound was $3.40, the direct materials quantity variance is $_______ _______.

$1050; F

$4,125 U

Actual hours used 5,500; Standard hours allowed 5,800; Actual labor rate $14.75 per hour; and Standard labor rate $14.00 per hour. The labor efficiency variance is ______.

$4,200 F

The standard price of materials is $4.10 per pound and the standard quantity allowed for actual output is 5,800 pounds. If the actual quantity purchased and used was 6,000 pounds, and the actual price per pound was $4.00, the direct materials price variance is ______.

$600 F

Using the information provided, calculate the materials quantity variance.

$600 U SP(AQ-SQ) = $3.00(5,200 - 5,000) = $600 U

The standard price of materials is $3.50 per pound and the standard quantity allowed for actual output is 7,000 pounds. If the actual quantity purchased and used was 6,700 pounds, and the actual price per pound was $3.40, the direct materials price variance is $_______ _______ .
