Solution:
As per the information given in the question we have
Standard Hours per unit = 2.5 direct labor Hours
Standard Rate per unit = $ 13.20 per unit
No. of actual units produced = 3,160
Actual direct labor hours used = 8,100 direct labor hours
Actual direct labor wage cost = $ 104,085
Thus the
Actual Hours per unit = Total direct labor hours used / No. of actual units produced
= 8,100 / 3,160
= 2.5633 direct labor Hours
Actual Rate per unit = Total direct labor wage cost / Total direct labor hours used
= $ 104,085 / 8,100
= $ 12.85
Calculation of Labor rate variance for the month:
The formula for calculating the labor rate variance is
= ( Actual Rate * Actual Hours * No. of units produced ) – ( Standard Rate * Actual Hours * No. of units produced)
Applying the available information in the formula we have
= ( $ 12.85 * 2.5633 * 3,160 ) – ( $ 13.20 * 2.5633 * 3,160 )
= $ 104,085.36 - $ 106,920.37
= - $ 2,835.01
Thus the labor rate variance = - $ 2,835.01 Unfavorable
= - $ 2,835 Unfavorable ( when rounded off to the nearest whole number )
Calculation of Labor efficiency variance for the month:
The formula for calculating the labor efficiency variance is
= ( Standard Rate * Actual Hours * No. of units produced ) – ( Standard Rate * Standard Hours * No. of units produced )
Applying the available information in the formula we have
= ( $ 13.20 * 2.5633 * 3,160 ) – ( $ 13.20 * 2.5* 3,160 )
= $ 106,920.37 - $ 104,280.00
= $ 2640.37
Thus the labor efficiency variance = - $ 2,640.37 Favorable
= $ 2,640 Favorable ( when rounded off to the nearest whole number )
