Marvel Parts, Incorporated, manufactures auto accessories. One of the company's products is a set of seat covers that can be adjusted to fit nearly any small car. The company has a standard cost system in use for all of its products. According to the standards that have been set for the seat covers, the factory should work 1,230 hours each month to produce 2,050 sets of covers. The standard costs associated with this level of production are: Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead (based on direct labor-hours) Direct materials (3,900 yards) Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Total $ 27,675 $8,610 $ 4,920 During August, the factory worked only 750 direct labor-hours and produced 1,500 sets of covers. The following actual costs were recorded during the month: Per Set of Covers $13.50 4.20 Total $ 19,500 $ 6,600 $ 4,800 1. Materials price variance 1. Materials quantity variance 2. Labor rate variance 2.40 $20.10 2. Labor efficiency variance 3. Variable overhead rate variance 3. Variable overhead efficiency variance Per Set of Covers $13.00 At standard, each set of covers should require 1.8 yards of material. All of the materials purchased during the month were used in production. 4.40 3.20 $20.60 Required: 1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for August. 2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for August. 3. Compute the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances for August. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" fol no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.)

Process Costing
Process costing is a sort of operation costing which is employed to determine the value of a product at each process or stage of producing process, applicable where goods produced from a series of continuous operations or procedure.
Job Costing
Job costing is adhesive costs of each and every job involved in the production processes. It is an accounting measure. It is a method which determines the cost of specific jobs, which are performed according to the consumer’s specifications. Job costing is possible only in businesses where the production is done as per the customer’s requirement. For example, some customers order to manufacture furniture as per their needs.
ABC Costing
Cost Accounting is a form of managerial accounting that helps the company in assessing the total variable cost so as to compute the cost of production.
