fill in the blank 1 of 1$
Lets understand the basics.
Direct labor rate variance is a variance between the rate at which labor should be hired against the rate at which it is hired.
Direct labor rate variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate)*Actual hour worked
Direct labor time variance is a variance between the time which should be taken for production against actual time taken.
Direct labor time variance = (Actual hour worked- Standard hours)*Standard rate
Direct labor cost variance is a variance between the standard direct labor cost with actual direct labor cost.
Direct labor cost variance = Actual costs - Standard cost
Standard cost incurred needs to debited to work in progress account.
