    Rate variance = $4057 Favorable

    Efficiency variance = $184 unfavorable

    Explanation:

    Rate variance $

    7,160 hours should have cost (7,160 * $9.20) 65872

    bur did cost (actual cost) 61,815

    Rate variance 4057 Favorable

    Efficiency variance

    3400 units should have taken (3,400 * 2.1 hours) 7140

    but did take 7,160

    Efiicienct=y varince (hours) 20 unfavorable

    standard hour * $9.20

    Efficiency variance $184 unfavorable

    Rate variance = $4057 Favorable

    Efficiency variance = $184 unfavorable
