    a. $3,740 Favorable

    b. $680 Unfavorable

    Explanation:

    The computation of labor rate variance and labor efficiency variance is shown below:-

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

    = $130,220 - (9,850 * $13.60)

    = $130,220 - 133,960

    = $3,740 Favorable

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

    = $13.60 * (9,850 - 1,750 * 5.6)

    = $13.60 * 50

    = $680 Unfavorable
