Answer:
A. Direct Labor Rate variance -$6250 Favorable
Direct labor time variance $4800 Unfavorable
Total Direct Labor Cost Variance $-1450 Favorable
B. Dr Work In Process $116,650
Explanation:
A.
Calculation to determine Direct Labor Rate variance using this formula
Direct Labor Rate variance= (actual hours* actual rate)- (actual hours * standard rate)
Let plug in the formula
Direct Labor Rate variance=( 5000 *22.75) - (5000*24)
Direct Labor Rate variance= $113750- 120,000= Direct Labor Rate variance-6250 Favorable
Calculation to determine Direct labor time variance using this formula
Direct labor time variance= (Actual hours* Standard rate)- (Standard hours * Standard rate)
Let plug in the formula
Direct labor time variance= (5000 * 24) -(4800 * 24)
Direct labor time variance= 120,000-115200
Direct labor time variance= 4800 Unfavorable
Calculation to determine Total Direct Labor Cost Variance using this formula
Total Direct Labor Cost Variance= Direct Labor Rate variance + Direct labor time variance
Let plug in the formula
Total Direct Labor Cost Variance= -6250 Favorable + 4800 Unfavorable
Total Direct Labor Cost Variance= -1450 Favorable
b. Preparation of the journal entry to determine How much direct labor should be debited to Work in Process
Dr Work In Process $116,650
Cr Direct Labor Cost Variance $ 1,450
Cr Payroll $ 115,200
Therefore the amount of Direct Labor to be Debited to Work In Process is $116,650
