Question

Lucky Company's direct labor information for the month of February is as follows: Actual direct labor hours worked (AQ) 61,500 Standard direct labor hours allowed (SQ) 63,000 Total payroll for direct labor $774,900 Direct labor efficiency variance $18,000 The direct labor flexible-budget variance for February was: $54,900 unfavorable. $42,300 unfavorable. $46,350 unfavorable. $18,900 unfavorable. $44,500 unfavorable.

Answer 1

d. $18,900 unfavorable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct labor efficiency variance = SR*(SH-AH)

18000 = SR*(63000-61500)

18000 = 1500 SR

SR = $12

Total standard direct labor cost for February = 63000*12= $756,000

Direct labor flexible-budget variance = $774,900 - $756,000 = $18900 Unfavorable
