    Answer: 1. $690 (favorable)

    2. $9045 (favorable)

    Explanation: These can be computed as follows : -

    Labor rate variance = Actual labor cost - (standard rate * actual hours)

    = $139,380 - ($20.1 * 6900 hours)

    = $690 (favorable)

    .

    Labor efficiency variance = (Actual hours - standard hours) * (standard rate)

    = [6900 hours - (1500 units * 4.3 hours) ] * ($20.1)

    = $9045 (favorable)
