This required 425 direct labor hours that cost $17.25 per hour. The standard for production is 8 square feet per unit, at a standard cost of $1.25 per square foot. The labor standard is currently set at 0.032 direct labor hours per unit, at a standard cost of $14.00 per hour. Price Variance (aka Rate Variance or Spending Variance) 6 (AP-SP)*AQ 7 8 9 10 AP = Actual Price for one unit of input (e.g. one pound of material, one hour of labor, etc.) SP=Standard Price for one unit of input (e.g. one pound of material, one hour of labor, etc.) AQ= Actual quantity of those inputs (e.g. pounds of materials or hours of labor) needed to produce the number of units that you have actually produced in total. 11 Quantity Variance (aka Efficiency Variance or Usage Variance) 12 (AQ-SQ)*SP AQ= Actual quantity of those inputs (e.g. pounds of materials or hours of labor) needed to 13 produce the number of units that you have actually produced in total. SQ= Standard expected quantity of those inputs (e.g. pounds of materials or hours of labor) 14 needed to produce the number of units that you have actually produced in total. 15 SP=Standard Price for one unit of input (e.g. one pound of material, one hour of labor, etc.) 16 17 Materials > =Variance Analysis +
