Required:1. Prepare the following variance analyses for both chocolates and the total, based on the actual results andproduction levels at the end of the budget year:a. Direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total variance.b. Direct labor rate variance, direct labor time variance, and total variance.Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positivenumber.а.Direct materials price varianceDirect materials quantity varianceTotal direct materials cost varianceb.Direct labor rate varianceDirect labor time varianceTotal direct labor cost variance2. The variance analyses should be based on theamounts atvolumes.The budget must flex with the volume changes. If thevolume is different from the plannedvolume, as it was in this case, then the budget used for performance evaluation should reflect the change in directmaterials and direct labor that will be required for theproduction. In this way, spending fromvolume changes can be separated from efficiency and price variances. I Love My Chocolate Company makes dark chocolate and light chocolate.
