To solve this answer we will first solve what is Standard rate then we solve standard quantity
We know actual rate as (526500/81000= $6.50)
now
LRV= (SR-AR) x ALH
LRV= -97200
-97200= (SR-6.5) x 81000
SR=6.50- (97200/81000)
SR= 5.30
.
We will now calculate standard quantity using labor efficiency variance
LEV=(SLH-ALH) x SR
LEV= (SLH- 81000) x 5.30
5936= ((SLH- 81000) x 5.30
SLH= 81000+(5936/5.3)
SLH= 81000+1120
SLH= 82120
