Answer:

Labor price variance = $266 Favorable

Explanation:

Labor price variance = (Standard Price per hour - Actual Price per hour) [tex]\times[/tex] Actual Hours

Standard Price per hour = $5.60

Actual Price per hour = $5.50

Actual hours = 1.90 for each unit

For 1,400 units = 1,400 [tex]\times[/tex] 1.90 = 2,660

Therefore, variance = ($5.60 - $5.50) [tex]\times[/tex] 2,660 = 266

Since the value is positive as because actual price was less than standard price the variance is favorable

Correct option is

$266 favorable
