Answer:

(a) rate variance = $ 5,234, Adverse

(b) time variance = $ 6,360, Favourable

(c) total cost variance = $1,126, Favourable

Explanation:

(a) rate variance,

rate variance = (Standard Rate - Actual Rate) × Actual Hours

=( $12.00- $12.20) × 26,170 hours

= $ 5,234, Adverse

(b) time variance, and

time variance = (Standard Hours - Actual Hours) × Standard Rate

= (26,700 hours - 26,170 hours) × $12.00

= $ 6,360, Favourable

(c) total cost variance

total cost variance = rate variance + time variance

= $ 5,234, Adverse + $ 6,360, Favourable

= $1,126, Favourable
