The company paid its direct labor workers a total of $18,000 for this work, or $10.00 per hour According to the standard cost card for this meal, it should require 0 30 direct labor-hours at a cost of $9.20 per hour 1.

What is the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance? (For requirements 3 and 4, indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavor no effect G.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.

Explanation / Answer

Ans)

1)  Number of meals prepared ...................6300

Standard direct labor-hours per meal .... 0.3

Total direct labor-hours allowed ............ 6300 X 0.3 = 1890

2) Standard direct labor cost per hour ....... 9.2

Total standard direct labor cost ............ 1890 X 9.2 = 17388

3) Actual cost incurred ............................. 18000

Total standard direct labor cost (above) 17388

Total direct labor variance ....................$ 612 un favourable

4) Labor rate variance = AH(AR – SR)

= 1800 ( 10 - 9.2)

= 1440 Unfavourable

Labor efficiency variance = SR(AH – SH)

= 9.2 ( 1800 - 1890)

= 828 Favourable
