Explanation / Answer

a)Total labor variance = AH *SR    -    SH*SR

                                       = 42400*14.11 -    (12300*3.4)*14

                                       = 598264 -   585480

                                       =$ 12784 (U)

B)Labor price variance =   AH *AR - AH *SR

                                       = 42400 * 14.11 -   42400* 14

                                      = 598264 - 593600

                                      = 4664 (U)

Labor efficiency variance = SR * AH   -    SR *SH

                                             = 14 * 42400 -     14 * (12300*3.4)

                                              = 593600 - 585480

                                             = 8120 (u)

C)Labor price variance =   AH*AR    -AH*SR

                                          = 42400 * 14.11    - 42400 *14.29

                                          = 598264 -   605896

                                         = - 7632 (F)

Labor quantity variance =   SR *AH   -   SR*SH

                                              = 14.29 * 42400 -    14.29 *(12300*3.73)

                                                = 605896 - 655610.91

                                                = -49714.91 (F)
