b. 175.00

d. 3,675

Answer 1

SOLUTION:-

1.

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

Standard hours = 4,500 / 40,000 * 56,000 = 6,300 hours

Labor efficiency variance = (6,300 - 7,000) * $5.25

Labor efficiency variance = $3,675 Unfavorable

Hence option d is correct.

2.

Overhead spending variance = (Standard rate - Actual rate) * Actual hours

Actual rate = $2,400 / 7,000 = $0.3428

Overhead spending variance = ($0.25 - $0.3428) * 7,000 = $650

Hence option a is correct.

3.

Overhead efficiency variance = (Standard hours - Actual hours) * Standard rate

Overhead efficiency variance = (6,300 - 7,000) * $0.25 = $175

Hence option b is correct.
