ASHLEY is worried about her labour costs. She budgeted that each of her products would take 1.33 hours to finish at a rate of $26 per direct labour hour. This month, Angela's business has produced 1,850 products. She has paid her workers a total of $55,500 in wages. Additionally, there is a 5% CPP expense which must also be paid (Angela includes this in her budgeting). Angela also gave a $500 bonus to all fourteen of her workers, since they have been working hard through long hours.

Question 1: Make a variance analysis model and give her some advice on if she is doing well and, if not, how things can be improved. Discuss all relevant factors, including more information that you may request from Angela and further analysis you would like to do.
