Solution

Answer

1)

Material variance :

2 )

Labour variance :

Labour rate variance = (18*3350-58625) = 1675 F

Labour efficiency variance = (1600*2-3350)*18 = 2700 U

	Silver	Silver	Crystals	Crystals
Material price variance	(29*375-11250) = 375	U	(0.40*6450-2451) = 129	F
material quantity variance	(1600*0.25-375)*29 = 725	F	(1600*4-6450)*0.40 = 20	U
