Question

Use the following for the next five questions: The following data is given for the Walker Company: Budgeted production...............................................1,000 units Actual production........................................................980 units Materials: Standard price per lb.......................................................$2.00 Standard pounds per completed unit....................................12 Actual pounds purchased and used in production.........11,800 Actual price paid for materials......................................$23,000 Labor: Standard hourly labor rate....................................$14 per hour Standard hours allowed per completed unit.........................4.5 Actual labor hours worked................................................4,560 Actual total labor costs..................................................$62,928 The total direct labor variance is:

Answer 1

$1,188 unfavorable

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the total direct labor variance is shown below:

Total Labor Variance is

= Total standard cost - total actual cost

= (Standard hours × Standard rate) - (Actual hours × Actual rate)

= (980 units × 4.5 × $14) - ($62,928)

= 61,740 - $62,928

= $1,188 unfavorable

Since the actual cost is more than the standard cost which results into unfavorable variance
