What is the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance? (For requirements 3 and 4, Indicate the effect of each varlance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (l.e., zero varlance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round Intermediate calculations.) 1. Standard labor-hours allowed 2. Standard labor cost allowed 3. Labor spending variance 4. Labor rate variance 4. Labor efficiency variance Exercise 9-6 (Algo) Variable Overhead Variances [LO9-6] Logistics Solutions provides order fulfillment services for dot.com merchants. The company maintains warehouses that stock items carried by Its dot.com clients.
