E$9-4($Algo$)$ Interpreting Direct Materials Price, Quantity Variances $[$LO $9-3]$

Perfect Pet Collar Company makes custom leather pet collars. The company expects each collar to require $2\mathrm{.}05$ feet of leather and predicts leather will cost $$3\mathrm{.}60$ per foot. Suppose Perfect Pet made $55$ collars during February. For these $55$ collars, the company actually averaged $2\mathrm{.}20$ feet of leather per collar and paid $$3\mathrm{.}20$ per foot.
