Expert Solution

(1) unit produced = 109,2500/57.50 = 19,000 Units

(2) Material quantity variance = (Standard qty-actual qty)standard price

-33,200 = (19,000*2*16.60-16.60X)

16.60X = 664,000

X(Actual quantity) = 40,000 Pounds

3) Material price variance = (Standard price-actual price)actual quantity

11,600 = (16.60*40,000-40,000X)

40,000X = 652,400

X(actual price) = 16.31

4) Labor efficiency variance = (Standard hour-actual hour)Standard rate

-15,100 = (19,000*15.10-15.10X)

15.10X = 302,000

X(actual hour) = 20,000 Hour

5) Labor rate variance = (Standard rate-actual rate)actual hour

-4,000 = (15.10*20,000-20,000X)

20,000X = 306,000

X(Actual rate) = 15.30

6) Variable overhead efficiency variance = (19,000-20,000)*9.20 = 9200 U

Actual variable overhead = 174,800-4,900+9200 = $179,100
