Answer:

materials variances

Material price variance = $480 Unfavourable

Material quantity variance = $768 Unfavourable

Material total variance = $1248 Unfavourable

labor variances

Labor price variance = $262 Favourable

Labor quantity variance = $120 Unfavourable

Labor total variance = $142 Favourable

Explanation:

materials variances

Material price variance = (Aq × Ap) - (Aq × Sp)

= (2,400 × $2.60) - (2,400 × $2.40)

= $480 Unfavourable

Material quantity variance = (Aq × Sp) - (Sq × Sp)

= (2,400 × $2.40) - ((260× 8) × $2.40)

= $768 Unfavourable

Material total variance = Material price variance + Material quantity variance

= $480 Unfavourable + $768 Unfavourable

= $1248 Unfavourable

labor variances

Labor price variance = (Aq × Ap) - (Aq × Sp)

= (1,310 × $11.80) - (1,310 × $12.00)

= $262 Favourable

Labor quantity variance = (Aq × Sp) - (Sq × Sp)

= (1,310 × $12.00) - ((260 × 5) × $12.00)

= $120 Unfavourable

Labor total variance = Material price variance + Material quantity variance

= $262 Favourable + $120 Unfavourable

= $142 Favourable
