Beluga Corp has developed standard costs based on a predicted operating level of 352,000 units of production, which is 80% of capacity. Variable overhead is $281,600 at this level of activity, or $0.80 per unit. Fixed overhead is $440,000. The standard costs per unit are:
| Direct Materials (0.5 lbs @ $1/lb) | $.050 | per unit |
| Direct Labor (1 hour @ $6/hour) | $6.00 | per unit |
| Overhead (1 hour @ $2.05/hour) | 2.05 | per unit |
Beluga actually produced 330,000 units at 75% of capacity and actual costs for the period were:
| Direct Materials (162,000 lbs) | $170,100 |
| Direct Labor (329,500 hours) | $2,042,900 |
| Fixed Overhead | $438,000 |
| Variable Overhead | $262,000 |
Calculate the following variances and indicate whether each one is favorable or unfavorable:
1. Direct materials price variance
2. Direct materials usage variance
3. Direct labor rate variance
4. Direct labor efficiency variance
5. Overhead controllable variance
6. Overhead volume variance
