Answer: 1. $690 (favorable)
2. $9045 (favorable)

Labor rate variance = Actual labor cost - (standard rate * actual hours)
= $139,380 - ( $20.1 * 6900 hours )
= $690 (favorable)
.
Labor efficiency variance = ( Actual hours - standard hours ) * (standard rate )
= [6900 hours - (1500 units * 4.3 hours) ] * ($20.1)
= $9045 (favorable)

Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Recently she received an inheritance of $54,000 from her grandmother's estate. She plans to use the money for the down payment on a home in ten years when she finishes her education.
We need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
First savings account:
FV= 54,000*(1+0.04)^10= $79,933.19
