  Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost
Direct materials ?question mark $ 6.00 per yard $ ?question mark
Direct labor ?question mark ?question mark   ?question mark
Variable manufacturing overhead ?question mark $ 2 per direct labor-hour ?question mark
Total standard cost per unit $ ?question mark

Overhead is applied to production based on direct labor-hours. During March, 800 backpacks were manufactured and sold. Selected information relating to the month’s production is given below:

  Materials Used Direct Labor Variable Manufacturing Overhead
Total standard cost allowed* $ 19,200   $ 9,200 $ 1,600
Actual costs incurred $ 11,100   ?question mark $ 4,740
Materials price variance ?question mark      
Materials quantity variance $ 3,000 U    
Labor rate variance     ?question mark  
Labor efficiency variance     ?question mark  
Variable overhead rate variance ?question mark
Variable overhead efficiency variance ?question mark

*For the month's production.

required questions:

What was the labor rate variance for March? The labor efficiency variance?

Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.
