    Direct material price variance = - $294 Unfavorable

    Direct material quantity variance = $1,104 Favorable

    Direct material purchase price variance = 549 Unfavorable

    Direct labor rate variance = $432 Unfavorable

    Direct labor efficiency variance = - $2,520 Unfavorable

    Explanation:

    The computation of given question is shown below:-

    Standard hours = 530 * 4

    = 2,120

    Direct material price variance = (Standard price - Actual price) * Actual quantity

    = ($1.38 - $1.41) * 9,800

    = - $0.03 * 9,800

    = - $294 Unfavorable

    Direct material quantity variance = (Standard quantity - Actual quantity) * Standard price

    = (530 * 20 - 9,600) * $1.38

    = (10,600 - 9,800) * $1.38

    = 800 * $1.38

    = $1,104 Favorable

    Direct material purchase price variance = (Standard price - Actual price) * Actual quantity

    = ($1.38 - $1.41) * 18,300

    = - $0.03 * 18,300

    = $549 Unfavorable

    Direct labor rate variance = (Standard rate - Actual rate) * Actual hours

    = ($9 - $9.18) * 2,400

    = - $0.18 * 2,400

    = $432 Unfavorable

    Direct labor efficiency variance = (Standard hours - Actual Hours) * Standard rate

    = (2,120 - 2,400) * $9.00

    = - 280 * $9.00

    = - $2,520 Unfavorable
