Answer:
The correct answer is:
(a) -7783
(b) 6800
(c) -983
Explanation:
According to the given values in the question:
(a)
The price variance will be:
= [tex](8.5-8.93)\times 18100[/tex]
= [tex]-0.43\times 18100[/tex]
= [tex]-7783[/tex] (Favorable)
(b)
The quantity variance will be:
= [tex](2100\times 9-18100)\times 8.5[/tex]
= [tex](18900-18100)\times 8.5[/tex]
= [tex]800\times 8.5[/tex]
= [tex]6800[/tex] (Unfavorable)
(c)
The cost variance will be:
= [tex](2100\times 9\times 8.5)-(18100\times 8.93)[/tex]
= [tex](160650)-(161633)[/tex]
= [tex]-983[/tex] (Favorable)
