Show me the easiest way to solve this problem step by step and clearly. Show me how you get every number. Thank you. Correct answer for #4 is (A) 760 Unfavorable and #5 is (b) 120 favorable. Tell me why is it unfavorable and favorable.
4) Labor efficiency variance = (Standard hour-actual hour)standard rate
= (2000*.40-760)*9
Labor efficiency variance = 360 F
Labor rate variance = 400+360 = 760 U
So answer is a) $760 Unfavorable
5) Variable overhead efficiency variance = (800-760)*3 = 120 F
So answer is b) $120 Favorable
