Explanation / Answer

Req 1: Std labour hour required per unit of output 0.50 hr Actual Production 5600 meals Total Std labour hours required for actual ouput (5600 *0.5) = 2,800 hours Req 2: Std labour hours required for actual output 2800 hours Std labour rate per hour   $7.50 per hour Total std labour cost for actual output ( 2800 *7.50) = $ 21,000 Req 3: Std labour cost for actual ouput   $ 21,000 Actual labour cost for actual output   $21,600 Labour spending variance = Std labour cost - Actual labour cost                                                            21000 - 21600 = $ 600 unfavorable Req4: Actual labour hour = 2700 labour hours Actual labour rate per hour   $ 8.00 per hour Labour rate variance = Actual labour hours used(Std rate per hour - Actual rate per hour)                                            2700 ( 7.50 - 8.00) = $ 1,350 unfavorable Labour efficiency variance= Std rate per hour (Std labour hours for actual output- Actual hours used)                                                    7.50 ( 2800 -2700 ) = $750 favorable
