Answer 1

Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Standard direct labor cost per hour, SR = $19 per hour

Standard direct labor hours per t-shirt = 0.4 hours

Actual direct labor hours, AH = 680

Actual output = 1,400 t-shirts

Standard hours for actual output, SH:

= Standard direct labor hours per t-shirt × T-shirts produced

= 0.4 hours × 1,400

= 560

Therefore,

Direct labor efficiency variance for the month:

= (SH - AH) × SR

= (560 - 680) × $19

= $2,280 Unfavorable
