Materials price variance $5,100 F

Materials quantity variance $4,075 U

Total labor variance $2,500 U

Labor price variance $620 F

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                      Actual        Standard

Labor rate per hour       $16            $15.50

Material price per ton  $160          $163

Labor hours                5,000       5,040

Materials                      1,700        1,675

a) Total price variance for materials = Standard price per ton - Actual price per ton * Actual materials

= $163 - $160 * 1,700

= $5,100 F

b) Total quantity variance for materials = Standard quantity - Actual quantity * Standard price

= 1,675 - 1,700 * $163

= 25 * $163

= $4,075 U

c) Total price variance for labor = Standard rate per hour - Actual rate per hour * Actual labor hours

= $15.50 - $16 * 5,000

= -$0.50 * 5,000

= $2,500 U

d) Total quantity variance for labor = Standard labor hours - Actual labor hours * Standard rate

= 5,040 - 5,000 * $15.50

= $620 F

c is the correct answer.
