Question

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. @ $1/1b.) "u00a6"u00a6 $0.50 per unit
Direct labor (1 hour @ $6/hour) "u00a6"u00a6"u00a6. $6.00 per unit
Overhead (1 hour @ $2.05/hour) "u00a6"u00a6"u00a6 $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.) "u00a6"u00a6"u00a6. $ 170,100
Direct labor (329,500 hours) "u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6. $2,042,900
Fixed overhead "u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6 $ 438,000
Variable overhead "u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6. $ 262,000

Calculate the following variances and indicate whether each variance is favorable or unfavorable:
(1) Direct labor efficiency variance: $__________________
(2) Direct materials price variance: $__________________
(3) Controllable overhead variance: $__________________
