blondinia [14]

Answer: $3,875 Favorable

Explanation: We can compute direct labor efficiency variance by using following formula :-

Direct labor efficiency variance = standard rate ( actual hours - standard hours)

where,

standard hours = 5,500units * 0.5 hour = 2750 hours

actual hours = 3,000 hours

standard rate = $15.5

putting the values into equation we get :-

Direct labor efficiency variance =  $15.5  ( 3,000 - 2750)

                                                    = $3,875 Favorable
