Specialty Polymers, Inc., processes a base chemical into plastic. Standard costs and actual costs for direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead incurred for the manufacture of 19,000 units of product were as follows:

Each unit requires 0.2 hour of direct labor.
Determine 

(a) The price variance, quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance; 

(b) The rate variance, time variance, and total direct labor cost variance; 

(c) Variable factory overhead controllable variance, the fixed factory overhead volume variance, and total factory overhead cost variance.
