Materials price and quantity variances b. Labor rate and efficiency variances C. Variable overhead rate and efficiency variances 2. How much of the $0.38 excess unit cost is traceable to each of the variances computed in (1) above 3. How much of the $0.38 excess unit cost is traceable to apparent inefficient use of labor time
