Answer:
$19,713 unfavorable
Explanation:
Direct labor efficiency variance tells us that how the direct labor is used to product the standard numbers of share. It is calculate by multiplying the difference of actual labor hours and standard labor hours with standard rate.
Formula for the efficiency variance
Direct labor efficiency variance = (Actual Hours - Standard Hours ) x Standard Rate
Direct labor efficiency variance = (3,500 - (0.25x5,700 ) x $9.5
Direct labor efficiency variance = (3500 - 1425 ) x $9.5
Direct labor efficiency variance = $19,713 unfavorable
As the actual Labor hours spent is higher than the estimated so, the efficiency variance id unfavorable.
