1. BatCo makes metal baseball bats. Each bat requires 1 kg of aluminum at $20 per kg and 0.35 direct labor hours at $26 per hour. Overhead is assigned at the rate of $32 per direct labor hour. Assume the actual cost to manufacture one metal bat was $46.30. Compute the cost variance and classify it as favorable or unfavorable. (Round "Qty per unit" to 2 decimal places.)
