b.)
i) Material price variance
= (12.75 - 12.25)98560 = 49280(U)
Material price variance
= (3.14 - 3.20)42350 = 2541(F)
Material usage variance
= (15400*6 - 98560)*12.25 = 75460(U)
Material usage variance
= (15400*3 - 42350)*3.20 = 12320(F)

2 higher labor paid and not efficiently utilized
3 higher overheads are paid
4 low selling price and lower sale
