Answer #2

$ 502230

Standard

35 hours @ $ 34 per hour

Actual hours worked = 15100 hours

Direct labour rate variance = $ 11170 f

( Standard rate - actual rate ) * actual hours

( 34- x ) * 15100 = 11170

( 34-x ) = 11170/15100

= $ 33.26

Direct labour efficiency variance = $ 17400 u

( Standard hours - actual hours) * standard rate

( x - 15100) * 34 = - 17400

( x- 15100) = -17400/34

= 15612 hours

Actual labour costs =

Actual hours * actual rate

15100* 33.26 = $ 502226

Direct labor hours are used as the basis for applying manufacturing overhead. This past month, the direct labor efficiency variance was $400 U and the direct labor rate variance was $2,000 F. This was based on an actual rate of $18 per hour, a standard wage rate of $20 per hour, 1,000 actual hours worked and 980 standard hours expected for the amount of output. This would imply that the variable overhead efficiency variance was: a. Favorable b. Unfavorable c....
