a. The direct materials cost exceeded the estimate by $120because 4 meters of materials were spoiled. The direct labor costexceeded the estimate by $80 because an additional 4 hours of laborwere used by an inexperienced employee. The factory overhead costexceeded the estimate because an additional $60 of factory overheadwas allocated because of the increase in direct labor.

b. Management didn't provide enough direction to complete taskson budget.
