Headstart manufactures headphone cases. During September 2018, the company produced and sold 105,000 cases and recorded the following cost data (Click the icon to view the cost data) Read the requirements Requirement 1. Compute the cost and efficiency variances for direct materials and direct labor. Begin with the cost variances Select the required formulas, compute the cost variances for direct materials and direct labor, and identify whether each variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). (Abbreviations used: AC actual cost; AQ actual quantity: FOH= fixed overhead; SC standard cost, SQ- standard quantity) Direct materials cost variance Direct labor cost variance Direct materials efficiency variance Direct labor efficiency variance Formula (AC-SC) x AQ (AC-SC) x AQ Next compute the efficiency variances Select the required formulas, compute the efficiency variances for direct materials and direct labor, and identify whether each variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U).

For manufacturing overhead, compute the variable overhead cost and efficiency variances and the fixed overhead cost and volume variances. Now compute the variable overhead cost and efficiency variances. Select the required formulas, compute the variable overhead cost and efficiency variances, and identify whether each variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U) (Abbreviations used: AC = actual cost; AQ= actual quantity, FOH= fixed overhead: SC standard cost; SQ = standard quantity, VOH = variable overhead.)
