a.
Standard cost per roll   = $9,000/450 = $20.00
Standard number of kilograms per roll   = $20/$4 = 5 kilograms per roll

b.
Actual kilograms   = ($9,000 + $80)/$4 = 2,270 kilograms

c.
Materials rate variance   = $9,600 - ($9,000 + $80)
   = $520 unfavourable
d.
Total standard labour cost of actual hours   = (450 × 3 × $8) + $400 = $11,200
   Actual hours   = $11,200/$8 = 1,400
   Total actual cost   = 1,400 × $8.25 = $11,550
e.
Labour rate variance   = $11,550 - $11,200 = $350 unfavourable
