Question

A job was budgeted to require 3 hours of labor per unit at $11.00 per hour. The job consisted of 8,000 units and was completed in 22,000 hours at a total labor cost of $269,500. What is the direct labor efficiency variance

Answer 1

Answer:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $22,000 favorable

Explanation:

To calculate the direct labor efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (3*8,000 - 22,000)*11

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (24,000 - 22,000)*11

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $22,000 favorable
