Direct labor 2050 hrs at 19.80 2100 hrs at 20.20
Factory overhead rates per direct labor hours
based on 100% of normal capacity
of 1950 direct labor hours:
variable cost 2.50 4970 variable cost
fixed cost 4.50 8775 fixed cost
Each unit requites 0.6 hour of direct labor

Determine A. The price variance, quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance. B. the rate variance, time variance, and total direct labor cost variance. and C. Variable factory overhead controllable variance, the fixed factory overhead volume variance, and total factory overhead cost variance.
