The direct labour cost totalled $74,305 for the month Requirect: 1-0. What direct labour cost should have been incurred to make the 18.000 speakers? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) 1-b. By how much does direct labour cost differ from the cost that was incurred? (Indicate the effect of vorionce by selecting "F" for fovourable, "U" for unfovouroble, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero voriance).) 2. Break down the difference in cost from requirement 1-b above into a labour rate variance and a labour efficiency variance. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting " F " for favourable, " U " for unfavourable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).) 3. The budgeted variable manufacturing overhead rate is $3.00 per direct labout-hour. During July, the company incurred $11,935 in variable manufacturing overhead cost Compute the variable overhead spending and efficiency variances for the month, (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for fovourable, "U" for unfovourable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)
