This question refers to flexibleminusbudget variance formulas with the following descriptions for the variables: a = actual; b = budgeted; p = price; q = quantity. the flexibleminusbudget variance for materials is $ 2 comma 000 (u). the salesminusvolume variance is $ 13 comma 000 (u). the price variance for material is $ 38 comma 000 (f). the efficiency variance for direct manufacturing labor is $ 9 comma 000 (f). calculate the efficiency variance for materials.

$40,000 (U)

Explanation:

Given that,

Flexible-budget variance for materials = $2,000

Price variance for material = $38,000

Sales-volume variance = $13,000

Efficiency variance for direct manufacturing labor = $9,000 (F)

Flexible-budget variance for materials = Price variance for material + Efficiency variance for materials

2,000 (U) = 38,000 (F) + Efficiency variance for materials

Efficiency variance for materials = 2,000 + 38,000

                                                      = $40,000 (U)
