After evaluating Null Company’s manufacturing process, management decides to establish standards of 2 hours of direct labor per

unit of product and $15.50 per hour for the labor rate. During October, the company uses 11,500 hours of direct labor at a $180,550 total cost to produce 6,100 units of product. In November, the company uses 22,500 hours of direct labor at a $355,500 total cost to produce 6,500 units of product. (1) Compute the direct labor rate variance, the direct labor efficiency variance, and the total direct labor cost variance for each of these two months.

Answer:

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For October month:

The computation of the direct labor price variance is shown below:  

= Actual Hours × (Actual rate - standard rate)  

= 11,500 × ($180,550 ÷ 11,500 hours - $15.50 per hour)  

= 11,500 × ($15.70 - $15.50)

= $2,300 unfavorable

The computation of the direct labor efficiency variance is shown below:  

= Standard Rate × (Actual hours - Standard hours)  

= $15.50 per hour × (11,500 hours - 6,100 units × 2 hours)  

= $15.50 per hour × 700 hours

= $10,850 favorable

The computation of the total direct labor cost variance is shown below:

= Direct labor rate variance + direct labor efficiency variance

=  $2,300 unfavorable  +  $10,850 favorable

= $8,550 favorable

For November month:

The computation of the direct labor price variance is shown below:  

= Actual Hours × (Actual rate - standard rate)  

= 22,500 × ($355,500 ÷ 22,500 hours - $15.50 per hour)  

= 22,500 × ($15.80 - $15.50)

= $6,750 unfavorable

The computation of the direct labor efficiency variance is shown below:  

= Standard Rate × (Actual hours - Standard hours)  

= $15.50 per hour × (22,500 hours - 6,500 units × 2 hours)  

= $15.50 per hour × 9,500 hours

= $147,250 favorable

The computation of the total direct labor cost variance is shown below:

= Direct labor rate variance + direct labor efficiency variance

=  $6,750 unfavorable  +  $147,250 favorable

= $140,500 favorable
