The auto repair shop of Quality Motor Company uses standards to control the labor time and labor cost in the shop. The standard labor cost for a motor tune-up is given below:
Standard Hours | Standard Rate | Standard Cost | |
Motor tune-up | 2.50 | $25.00 | $62.50 |
The record showing the time spent in the shop last week on motor tune-ups has been misplaced. However, the shop supervisor recalls that 50 tune-ups were completed during the week, and the controller recalls the following variance data relating to tune-ups:
Labor rate variance | $ | 150 | F |
Labor spending variance | $ | 200 | U |
Required:
1. Determine the number of actual labor-hours spent on tune-ups during the week.
2. Determine the actual hourly rate of pay for tune-ups last week. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
If the labor spending variance is $507 unfavorable, and the rate variance is $392 favorable, then the effciency variance must be$899 unfavorable, because the rate and effciency variances taken together always equal the spending variance. Knowing that the effciency variance is $899 unfavorable, one approacht o the solution would be:
Effciency variance = SR (AH â SH)
$6.2per hour (AH â 345 hours*) = $899 U
$6.2 per hour à AH â $2139 = $899**
$6.2 per hour à AH = $3038
AH = $3038 ÷ $6.2per hour
AH = 490 hours
*230 X 1.5 = 345 hours
**When used with the formula, unfavorable variances arepositive and favorable variances are negative.
2) Rate variance = AH (AR â SR)
345 hours (AR â $6.20 per hour) = $392F
345 hours à AR â $2139= â$392*
345 hours à AR = $1747
AR = $1747 ÷ 345 hours
AR = $5.06 per hour
*When used with the formula, unfavorable variances are positive and favorable variances are negative.
