Answer:

price variance  $3,300.00

quantity variance  $(3,450.00)

rate variance  $(500.00)

efficiency variance  $(3,225.00)

Explanation:

DIRECT MATERIALS VARIANCES

[tex](standard\:cost-actual\:cost) \times actual \: quantity= DM \: price \: variance[/tex]

std cost  $2.30

actual cost  $2.10

quantity 16,500

difference  $0.20

price variance  $3,300.00

[tex](standard\:quantity-actual\:quantity) \times standard \: cost = DM \: quantity \: variance[/tex]

std quantity 15000.00

actual quantity 16500.00

std cost  $2.30

difference -1500.00

quantity variance  $(3,450.00)

DIRECT labor VARIANCES

[tex](standard\:rate-actual\:rate) \times actual \: hours = DL \: rate \: variance[/tex]

std rate  $7.50

actual rate  $8.50 (4,250 / 500 hours)

actual hours 500

difference  $(1.00)

rate variance  $(500.00)

[tex](standard\:hours-actual\:hours) \times standard \: rate = DL \: efficiency \: variance[/tex]

std  hours 70.00

actual hours 500.00

std rate  $7.50

difference -430.00

efficiency variance  $(3,225.00)
