Answer 1
It is given that
Standard rate | $ 12 |
Standard hours (2000*4) | 8,000 |
Actual rate | $ 11 |
Actual hours | 9,000 |
Labor rate Variance = (Standard rate-Actual rate)*Actual hours |
Labor rate Variance = ($12 - $11)*9,000 |
Labor rate Variance = $ 9,000 (F) |
Labor efficiency Variance = (Standard hours (2000*4)-Actual hours)*Standard rate |
Labor efficiency Variance = (8,000 - 9,000) * $ 12 |
Labor efficiency Variance = $ -12,000 or $12,000 (U) |
Answer 2
Labor Cost Variance = Labor rate Variance+Labor efficiency Variance |
Labor Cost Variance = $ 9,000 + $ -12,000 |
Labor Cost Variance = $ -3000 or 3,000(U) |
Answer 3
Labor rate Variance = HR ( Human resource) manager. This is because it is his duty to hire labor and give them low wages to reduce costs.
Labor efficiency Variance = Production manager. This is because if more labour hours are used, it shows that production was inefficient.
Answer 4
In the above case, the Labor rate Variance is $ 9,000 (F). It shows that the HR manager has done his work efficiently and paid ow wages than standard.
Labor efficiency Variance is $12,000 (U). his shows that more labor hours are used and production was inefficient.
