Answer: The actual cost of materials was less than the standard cost
Explanation:
Net materials cost variance = Favorable materials price variance + Favorable materials quantity variance
= 380 + (-120 unfavorable)
= 380 - 120
= $260 favorable
<em>As the materials cost variance is favorable, it means that the actual cost of materials was less than what was budgeted for it or rather its standard cost. </em>

Answer:
A) a 23.5% decrease in materials
B) a 64% decrease in labor costs
C) a 29.1% decrease in overhead
Explanation:
White Tiger's multifactor productivity = $300 / $148 = 2.027
if we want to increase the multifactor productivity by 12%, it will = 2.27
since we will not change the sales price, we must determine the new total cost:
$300 / cost = 2.27
cost = $300 / 2.27 = $132.16 ≈ $132, which represents a $16 decrease
A) materials ⇒ $16/$68 = 23.5%
B) labor costs ⇒ $16/$25 = 64%
C) overhead ⇒ $16/$55 = 29.1%
