    A 2000F Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 5000F Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 5000A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2000A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 4000A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Answer: LEV = (Actual Hours – Standard Hours) * Standard Rate .Here, LEV = (42000-42500)*10 = 5000F Here, Standard rate = 400000/40000 = 10/ hour And standard hours = 17000*40000/16000 = 42500.
