Explanation / Answer

Answer 1.

Standard labor hours allowed = Number of units produced * Standard labor hours required per unit
Standard labor hours allowed = 19,200 * 0.50
Standard labor hours allowed = 9,600

Answer 2.

Standard labor cost allowed = Standard labor hours allowed * Standard labor rate per hour
Standard labor cost allowed = 9,600 * $6.20
Standard labor cost allowed = $59,520

Answer 3.

Labor Spending Variance = Actual labor cost - Standard labor cost allowed
Labor Spending Variance = $61,080 - $59,520
Labor Spending Variance = $1,560 Unfavorable

Answer 4.

Labor Rate Variance = Actual labor cost - Actual labor hours * Standard labor rate per hour
Labor Rate Variance = $61,080 - 10,180 * $6.20
Labor Rate Variance = $2,036 Favorable

Labor Efficiency Variance = Actual labor hours * Standard labor rate per hour - Standard labor cost allowed
Labor Efficiency Variance = 10,180 * $6.20 - $59,520
Labor Efficiency Variance = $3,596 Unfavorable

Answer 5.

Standard variable overhead cost allowed = Standard labor hours allowed * Standard variable overhead rate per hour
Standard variable overhead cost allowed = 9,600 * $4.70
Standard variable overhead cost allowed = $45,120

Variable Overhead Rate Variance = Actual variable overhead cost - Actual labor hours * Standard variable overhead rate per hour
Variable Overhead Rate Variance = $54,972 - 10,180 * $4.70
Variable Overhead Rate Variance = $7,126 Unfavorable

Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = Actual labor hours * Standard variable overhead rate per hour - Standard variable overhead cost allowed
Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = 10,180 * $4.70 - $45,120
Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = $2,726 Unfavorable
