    B. $ 50 comma 400 unfavorable

    Explanation:

    The formula to compute the labor efficiency variance is shown below:

    = Standard labor rate * (Standard hours for actual output - Actual hours)

    where,

    Standard labor rate is $28

    Standard hours for actual output would be

    = 1,600 cars * 3.25 direct labor hours per car

    = 5,200 hours

    And, the actual hour is 7,000 hours

    Now put these values to the above formula

    So, the value would equal to

    = $28 * (5,200 hours - 7,000 hours)

    = $50,400 unfavorable
