Question
SkyChefs, Inc., prepares in-flight meals for a number of major airlines. One of the company’s products is grilled salmon in dill sauce with baby new potatoes and spring vegetables. During the most recent week, the company prepared 4,300 of these meals using 1,250 direct labor-hours. The company paid its direct labor workers a total of $11,250 for this work, or $9.00 per hour. According to the standard cost card for this meal, it should require 0.30 direct labor-hours at a cost of $8.50 per hour. Required: 1. What is the standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to prepare 4,300 meals? 2. What is the standard labor cost allowed (SH × SR) to prepare 4,300 meals? 3. What is the labor spending variance? 4. What is the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance? (For requirements 3 and 4, indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do no round intermediate calculations.)
1. Standard labor-hours allowed 2. Standard labor cost allowed 3. Labor spending variance 4. Labor rate variance Labor efficiency varianceExplanation / Answer
Particulars Hours Rate amount Hours Rate amount Labour 1,290.00 8.5000 10,965.00 1,250.00 9.00 11,250.00 Actual output 4,300.00 Standard Labour hrs reqd (4300*0.30) 1,290.00 Standard labour cost = 1290 *8.50 10,965.00 Labour spending variance = Standard cost - Actual cost Labour spending variance = 10,965 - 11,250 Labour spending variance = 285 U DLRV= (SR-AR)AH DLRV= (8.50 - 9)1250 DLRV= 625 U DLEV = (SH-AH)SR DLEV = (1290 - 1250)8.50 DLEV = 340 F
