    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
