    We can not solve the problem for you but we can guide you to do it.

    a. Material price variance.
    (Standard Rate - Actual Rate) x Actual Quantity used
    b. Material quantity variance.
    (Standard Quantity Allowed - Actual Quantity Used) x Standard Rate
    c. Direct labor rate variance.
    (Standard Rate - Actual Rate) x Actual hours worked
    d. Direct labor efficiency variance.
    (Standard Hours allowed - Actual hours worked) x Standard Rate
    e. Variable overhead spending variance.
    Budgeted allowance for capacity attained - Actual variable overheads
    f. Variable overhead efficiency variance
    (Standard Hours allowed - Actual hours worked) x Standard Variable Overhead Rate
