The correct answer is B) $3600 U.

Explanation:

The labor quantity variance is difference between actual hours consumed to produce the product and standard hour that should be taken to produce the product. The detail calculation are given below.

labor quantity variance = Standard rate (Standard quantity - actual quantity)

= 18 (4,000-4,200)

= $ 3,600 un-favorable

Labor quantity variance is un-favorable. Which means more labor cost due to more labor hour comsumed.
