Answer 1

38
Raw materials price variance=48100*(7.7-7)=				33670	U
39
Raw materials quantity variance=7*(42490-8500*5)=				70	F
40
Labor rate variance=2300*(21.7-21.3)=				920	U
41
Labor efficiency variance=21.3*(2300-8500*0.3)=				5325	F
42
Variable overhead rate variance=2300*(9.8-9.6)=				460	U
41
Variable overheadefficiency variance=9.6*(2300-8500*0.3)=				2400	F
