Question

TB MC Qu. 9-100 The following labor standards have been ... The following labor standards have been established for a particular product: Standard labor-hours per unit of output 9.6 hours Standard labor rate $ 13.40 per hour The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month: Actual hours worked 7,400 hours Actual total labor cost $ 96,200 Actual output 950 units What is the labor efficiency variance for the month

Answer 1

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $23,048 favorable

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard labor-hours per unit of output 9.6 hours

Standard labor rate $ 13.40 per hour

Actual hours worked 7,400 hours

Actual output 950 units

To calculate the direct labor efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate

Standard quantity= 9.6*950= 9,120

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (9,120 - 7,400)*13.4

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $23,048 favorable
