Answer:
a. Total labor variance $4,000 Unfavorable
Labor price variance $1,200 Unfavorable
Labor quantity variance $2,860 Unfavorable
b. $2,300 Favorable
Explanation:
a. The computation of total, price, and quantity variances for labor is shown below:-
1. Total labor variance = (Produced units × Direct labor hours × Per hour) - (Company direct labor hours × Average rate)
= (2,000 × 1.90 × $14.00) - (4,000 × $14.30)
= $53,200 - $57,200
= $4,000 Unfavorable
Labor rate variance = (Per hour - Average rate) × Company direct labor hours
= ($14.00 - $14.30) × 4,000
= -$0.3 × 4,000
= $1,200 Unfavorable
Labor efficiency variance = (Produced units × Direct labor hours - Company direct labor hours) × Per hour
= (2,000 × 1.90 - 4,000) × $14.30
= (3,800 - 4,000) × $14.30
= -200 × $14.30
= $2,860 Unfavorable
b) Total overhead variance = Manufacturing overhead cost - (Produced units × Direct labor hours × Predetermined overhead rate)
= $81,300 - (2,000 × 1.90 × $22.00)
= $81,300 - $83,600
= $2,300 Favorable
