Pace Labs, Inc. provides mad cow disease testing for both state and federal governmental agricultural agencies. Because the company's customers are governmental agencies, prices are strictly regulated. Therefore, Pace Labs must constantly monitor and control its testing costs. Shown below are the standard costs for a typical test.

The lab does not maintain an inventory of test tubes. Therefore, the tubes purchased each month are used that month. Actual activity for the month of November 2014, when 1,500 tests were conducted, resulted in the following:
|
Direct materials (3,050 test tubes)
|
$ 4,209
|
|
Direct labor (1,600 hours)
|
36,800
|
|
Variable overhead
|
7,400
|
|
Fixed overhead
|
15,000
|
Monthly budgeted fixed overhead is $14,000. Revenues for the month were $75,000, and selling and administrative expenses were $5,000.
Compute the price and quantity variances for direct materials and direct labor.
Compute the total overhead variance.
