Answer:
The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The per-unit standards for direct labor are 2 direct labor hours at $15 per hour. If in producing 1800 units, the actual direct labor cost was $48000 for 3000 direct labor hours worked.
We need to calculate the total direct labor variance, using two formulas:
Direct labor efficiency variance= (SQ - AQ)*standard rate
Direct labor efficiency variance= (1,800*2 - 3,000)*15= $9,000 favorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (15 - 48,000/3,000)*3,000= $3,000 unfavorable
Total direct labor variance= 9,000 - 3,000= $6,000 favorable
