Answer:

Abell and Creek, LLC

The actual amount spent for Product A325 during the current period is:

= $42,250.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                      Flexible       Price      Efficiency

                                                       Budget   Variance    Variance

Product A311 (total costs)            $58,000    $1,500 F    $3,000 U

Product A325 (total costs)          $42,000    $1,750 U     $1,500 F

Direct manufacturing labor only $71,000   $2,000 U    $2,500 F

Actual amount spent for Product A325:

Flexible budget $42,000

Price variance         1,750 U

Efficiency variance 1,500 F

Actual  =            $42,250
