Question

XYZ Industries makes heavy construction equipment. The standard for a crane calls for 20 direct labor-hours at $24 per direct labor-hour. During a recent period 875 cranes were made. The labor efficiency variance was $1,200 Unfavorable. How many actual direct labor-hours were worked

Answer 1

17,550

Step-by-step explanation:

Labor efficiency variance = Standard rate * (Actual hours - Standard hours)

$1200 = $24 * (Actual hours - 875*20)

50 = Actual hours - 17,500

Actual hours = 17,500 + 50

Actual hours = 17,550

So, the actual direct labor-hours which were worked is 17,550.
