Answer:

The company has developed standard costs for one unit of fludex, as follows:  During November, the following activity was recorded relative to production of fludex.

Explanation:

1) Real Price in Material Price Variance = 225000/12000 = 18.75

2) Standard Quantity in Material Quantity Variance = 3750*2.5 = 9375

3) Real Quantity in Material Quantity Variance = 12000 - 2500 = 9500

4) Real Hours in Labor Rate Variance/Labor efficiency Variance = 35*160 = 5600

5) Common Hours in Labor efficiency Variance/Variable Overhead efficiency Variance = 1.4*3750 = 5250

6) Real Rate in Variable Overhead Rate Variance = 18200/5600 = 3.25
