Calculating the Direct Labor Rate Variance and the Direct Labor Efficiency Variance

Guillermo's Oil and Lube Company is a service company that offers oil changes and lubrication for automobiles and light trucks. On average, Guillermo has found that a typical oil change takes 18 minutes and 6.2 quarts of oil are used. In June, Guillermo's Oil and Lube had 980 oil changes.

Guillermo's Oil and Lube Company provided the following information for the production of oil changes during the month of June:

Actual number of oil changes performed: 980
Actual number of direct labor hours worked: 286 hours
Actual rate paid per direct labor hour: $14.50
Standard rate per direct labor hour: $13.50

Required:

1. Calculate the direct labor rate variance (LRV) and the direct labor efficiency variance (LEV) for June using the formula approach.

Answer #1
Given
Actual hours AH 286
Actual Rate AR 14.50
Standard Rate SR 13.50
Standard Hours SH 294 (18mins/60mins*980 oil changes)
if the actual wage rate paid in June was $14.5
Formula Working Answer
Direct labor rate variance = (AR-SR) x AH (14.5-13.5)*286 $ 286 (A)
Direct labor efficiency variance = SR x (AH-SH) 13.5*(286-294) $ 108 (F)
Direct Labour variance = (SR*SH)-(AR*AH) (13.5*294) - (14.5*286) $ 178 (A)
if the actual wage rate paid in June was $12.50
Formula Working Answer
Direct labor rate variance = (AR-SR) x AH (12.5-13.5)*286 $ 286 (F)
Direct labor efficiency variance = SR x (AH-SH) 13.5*(286-294) $ 108 (F)
Direct Labour variance = (SR*SH)-(AR*AH) (13.5*294) - (12.5*286) $ 394 (F)

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....
