Answer 1

Answer:

2,256 hours

Explanation:

The computation of the total standard direct labor hours allowed (SQ) for units produced is shown below;

As we know that

Labor rate variance = (Actual hours × Actual rate) - (Actual hours ×  Standard rate)

($5,000) = $35,000 - (2,500 ×  Standard rate)

2,500 ×  Standard rate = $40,000

Standard rate = $16

Now

Labor efficiency variance = (Actual hours ×  Standard rate) - (Standard hours ×  Standard rate)

$3,900 = (2,500 ×  $16) - (Standard hours ×  $16)

Standard hours ×  $16 = 36,100

Standard hours = 2,256.25

= 2,256 hours
