Sagot :

Answer and Explanation:

a, The computation is shown below:

Computation of labor variances:

Total Labor variance = Standard Labor cost - Actual Labor cost

= {(2000 × 1.90 × $17.40) - (4000 × $17.70)

= $66,120 - $70,800

= $4,680 Unfavorable

Labor price variance = (Standard price - actual price) × actual labor hours

= ($17.40 - $17.70) × 4,000

= $1,200 Unfavorable

And,

Labor quantity variance = (Standard hours - actual hours) × standard rate per hour

= {(2,000 × 1.90) - 4,000) × $17.40

= $3,480 Unfavorable
