Hollowell Audio, Inc., manufactures military-specification compact discs. The company uses standards to control its costs. The labor standards that have been set for one disc are as follows:

Standard Hours	Standard Rate	Standard Cost
27 minutes	$6.00	$2.70

During July, 9,325 hours of direct labor time were required to make 19,300 discs. The direct labor cost totaled $54,085 for the month.

Required:
1a.	According to the standards, what direct labor cost should have been incurred to make the 19,300 discs? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

1b.

By how much does this differ from the cost that was incurred? (Input the amount as a positive value. Do not round intermediate calculations. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

Break down the difference in cost from (1) above into a labor rate variance and a labor efficiency variance. (Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

The budgeted variable manufacturing overhead rate is $4.1 per direct labor-hour. During July, the company incurred $46,625 in variable manufacturing overhead cost. Compute the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances for the month. (Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest dollar amount. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
