Answer: Harder to sustain cooperation
Explanation:
When the number of firms in an oligopolistic market increases as is the case here, cooperation becomes harder because profits become smaller so companies start to become more selfish.
Also in this scenario, the cheating firm has the incentive to do so because the profit is so much higher than sharing so companies will always be looking to cheat in order to make this profit. The other firms would reply by reducing prices and all of them would suffer.

Answer: 1. $690 (favorable)
2. $9045 (favorable)
Explanation: These can be computed as follows :-
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)
