Explanation / Answer

a) direct labor rate... direct labor rate is given as 16.15 per hour # of hours per bicycle is 1400/280 = 5 so direct labor rate per bicycle is 5*16.15= $80.75 time variance is planned (5.3 hrs per bike) - actual (5 hrs per bike) = .3 hours standard deviation if needed is (5.3-5)/5.3 = .0566 or5.66% the amount of direct labor should be the planned # of bikes*actuallabor required so 210 bikes*5 hours per bike, = 1050 hours
