P 196,000
Standard direct labor hours
33,000
Variable overhead rate per DLH
P6.00

Its standard rate is 475 direct labor hours at a rate of $14.50 per hour. A. Determine the company's labor efficiency variance and whether it is favorable or unfavorable. B.

Please help Direct Labor Variances The following data relate to labor cost for production of 6,600 cellular telephones: Actual: 4,480 hrs. at $16.10 $72,128 Standard: 4,410 hrs. at $16.40 $72,324 a. Determine the direct labor rate variance, direct labor time variance, and total direct labor cost variance. Enter all values as a positive number and then identify the variance (e.g. Favorable or Unfavorable) in the adjacent column. Rate variance $ Favorable Time variance $ Unfavorable Total direct labor cost variance $ Favorable b. The employees may have been less-experienced or poorly trained, thereby resulting in a lower labor rate than planned. The lower level of experience or training may have resulted in less efficient performance. Thus, the actual time required was more than standard.
