23. Consider the following information: Actual direct labor hours Standard direct labor hours Total actual direct labor cost Direct-labor efficiency variance The direct-labor rate variance is: 34,000 34,600 $159,800 $2,460F

Direct Material Direct Labor Standard Cost Data per 1 Unit Quantity Price 3 lbs $2.00/lb 2 hrs $4.00/hr Actual Data: Units produced Material purchase & usage Direct Labor Show all computations. 25 100 lbs at $2.20 per lb 30 hrs; total cost $129 a) Compute price variance, quantity variance, direct material variance b) Compute rate variance, efficiency variance, direct labor variance

Calculate the labor efficiency variance: Labor costs: Budgeted costs (per unit) 2.25 hours at € 16.40 per hour based on 350 units. Actual: Units: 310 Hours: 620 Labor cost: € 10, 540 a. €1, 435 favourable b. € 1,271 favourable c. € 899 favourable d. €1, 435 adverse

Direct Labor Variances The following data relate to labor cost for production of 4,000 cellular telephones: Type Actual: Standard: Hours and Rate 2,690 hrs. at $14.70 2,650 hrs. at $15.00 a. Determine the direct labor rate variance, direct labor time variance, and total direct labor cost variance. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number. b. The employees may have been less-experienced workers who were paid less than more-experienced workers or poorly trained, thereby resulting in a labor rate than planned. The lower level of efficient performance. Thus, the actual time required experience or training may have resulted in than standard. NB: Based upon your answer to (a) use Less, More or Lower to fill in the blank in (b) was
