Explanation / Answer

1) Material price variance = (8.3*6000-43740) = 6060 F

Material quantity variance = (2700*2-6000)*8.3 = 4980 U

2) Labour rate variance = (8*1050-11340) = 2940 U

Labour efficiency variance = (2700*.50-1050)*8 = 2400 F

3) Variable overhead rate variance = (3*1050-5670) = 2520 U

Variable overhead efficiency variance = (1350-1050)*3 = 900 F
