Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The labor price variance is calculated as (Actual Hours x Actual Rate) - (Actual Hours x Standard Rate). Here, the Actual Hours are 3850, and the Actual Rate can be found by dividing the total cost by the actual hours ($46970 / 3850 = $12.20). The Standard Rate is $12. So, the calculation is (3850 x $12.20) - (3850 x $12) = $59370 - $46200 = $770 Unfavorable.
