Nolan Mills uses a standard cost system. During May, Nolan manufactured 15,000 pillowcases, using 26,800 yards of fabric costing $3.05 per yard and incurring direct labor costs of $17,545 for 3,190 hours of direct labor. The standard cost per pillowcase assumes 1.75 yards of fabric at $3.10 per yard, and 0.20 hours of direct labor at $5.95 per hour.
Required:
Compute both the price variance and quantity variance relating to direct materials used in the manufacture of pillowcases in May.
Compute both the rate variance and efficiency variance for direct labor costs incurred in manufacturing pillowcases in May.
Note: For all requirements, Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "Favorable" or "Unfavorable". Select "None" and enter "0" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Do not round your intermediate values. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.
1. materials price variance: x?, favorable or unfavorable?
2. materials quantity variance: x?, favorable or unfavorable?
3. labor rate variance: x?, favorable or unfavorable?
4. labor efficiency variance: x?, favorable or unfavorable?
