Answer 1

$10,400 Favorable

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of labor efficiency variance for June is shown below:-

For computing the labor efficiency variance for June first we need to find out the standard hours

Standard hours = 0.5 hours per unit × 3,100 units

= 1,550 hours

Now, we will put it into formula

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

= (1,550 - 510) × $10

= $10,400 Favorable

Therefore for computing the labor efficiency variance for June we simply applied the above formula.
