Question

Custom Clubs produces handmade golf clubs. The process is labor intensive. The speed at which a club can be built depends on the skill level of the individual worker. Management has established a standard of 2 labor hours per club. The standard wage rate is $12 per hour. During a recent month, 2,500 custom clubs were produced. Management was pleased that only 4,900 labor hours were worked; however, total wages amounted to $63,700. Complete the spreadsheet and compute the total variance for labor, and determine how much is related to rate and efficiency components.

Labor variances: Actual Labor Cost Actual hours of labor                      - Actual rate $                   - Actual cost of direct labor $                   - Standard Labor Cost Output - number of clubs                      - Standard hours per club $                   - Standard hours to achieve output                      - Standard rate per hour $                   - Standard cost of direct labor $                   - Total labor variance (standard cost v. actual cost) $                   - Labor rate variance: Standard rate $                   - Actual rate                      - $                   - Actual hours                      - Unfavorable labor rate variance $                   - Labor efficiency variance: Standard hours                      - Actual hours                      -                      - Standard rate $                   - Favorable labor efficiency variance $                   -

Explanation / Answer

Labor variances: Actual Labor Cost Actual hours of labor              4,900 Actual rate = 63700 / 4900 $               13 Actual cost of direct labor $       63,700 Standard Labor Cost Output - number of clubs              2,500 Standard hours per club                      2 Standard hours to achieve output              5,000 Standard rate per hour $               12 Standard cost of direct labor $       60,000 Total labor variance (standard cost v. actual cost) $        (3,700) Labor rate variance: Standard rate                   12 Actual rate                   13                    (1) Actual hours              4,900 Unfavorable labor rate variance $        (4,900) Labor efficiency variance: Standard hours 5000 Actual hours 4900 100 Standard rate 12 Favorable labor efficiency variance $          1,200
