Chapter 9, Problem 3CE
Refer to Cornerstone Exercise 9.1. Guillermo’s Oil and Lube Company provided the following information for the production of oil changes during the month of June:
Actual number of oil changes performed: 980
Actual number of direct labor hours worked: 386 hours
Actual rate paid per direct labor hour: $14.50
Standard rate per direct labor hour: $14.00
Required:
- 1. Calculate the direct labor rate variance (LRV) and the direct labor efficiency variance (LEV) for June using the formula approach.
- 2. Calculate the direct labor rate variance (LRV) and the direct labor efficiency variance (LEV) for June using the graphical approach.
- 3. Calculate the total direct labor variance for oil changes for June.
- 4. What if the actual wage rate paid in June was $12.40? What impact would that have had on the direct labor rate variance (LRV)? On the direct labor efficiency variance (LEV)?
