Answer:

b. $122 unfavorable.

d. $60 unfavorable.

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Material Price Variance = (Standard price - Actual price ) × Actual quantity of Roses

where,

Actual quanity is

= 6.1 × 1,000 arrangements

= 6,100 roses

And,

Standard price = 0.6 and Actual price = 0.58

So, the material price variance is

= ($0.6 - $0.58 ) × 6,100 roses

= $122 Favorable

2, Now the material usage variance is

Material usage variance = (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) Standard price per rose

= ($6 × 1,000 - 6,100) × 0.6

= $60 Unfavorable
