Answer 1

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct Labor Variances Dvorak Company produces a product that requires 3 standard hours per unit at a standard hourly rate of $17 per hour. If 1,000 units required 2,800 hours at an hourly rate of $16.50 per hour.

A)

Direct labor price variance= (SR - AR)*AQ

Direct labor price variance=(17 - 16.5)*2,800= 1,400 favorable

B) Direct labor efficiency variance= (SQ - AQ)*standard rate

Direct labor efficiency variance= (3,000 - 2,800)*17= 3,400 favorable

C) Total direct labor variance= -1400 - 3400= -4,800 favorable
