Required:
Prepare the following variance analyses for both chocolates and total, based on the actual results and production levels at the end of the budget year:
a. Direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total variance.
b. Direct labor rate variance, direct labor time variance, and total variance.
Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number. If there is no variance, enter a zero.
a.
Direct materials price variance
Direct materials quantity variance
Total direct materials cost variance
b.
Direct labor rate variance
Direct labor time variance.
Total direct labor cost variance
2. The variance analyses should be based on the

Unfavorable
amounts at
performance evaluation should reflect the change in direct materials and direct labor that will be required for the
volumes. The budget must flex with the volume changes. If the
