Data related to labor are: Standard hours allowed 2 hours per unit Standard wages allowed $ 4.00 per hour Actual direct labor 230 hours (total cost $897) What is the labor rate variance for June?

Answer 1

Direct labor rate variance= 23 favorable

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

During June, 85 units were scheduled and 110 were produced. Data related to labor are: Standard hours allowed 2 hours per unit Standard wages allowed $ 4.00 per hour

Actual direct labor 230 hours for 897. (897/230= 3.9)

Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity

Direct labor rate variance= (4 - 3.9)*230= 23 favorable
