The auto repair shop of Quality Motor Company uses standards to control the labor time and labor cost in the shop. The standard labor cost for a motor tune-up is given below Standard loura 2.5 andard Rate Standard Coat $62.50 St 10 points Motor tune-up $25.00 eBook The record showing the time spent in the shop last week on motor tune-ups has been misplaced. However, the shop supervisor recalls that 50 tune-ups were completed during the week, and the controller recalls the following variance data relating to tune-ups: Print Labor rate variance Labor spending variance 150 F 200 U 1. Determine the number of actual labor-hours spent on tune-ups during the week. 2. Determine the actual hourly rate of pay for tune-ups last week. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) 1 Actual labor hours 2 Actual hourly rate hours per hour

Explanation / Answer

Labour efficiency variance = 150+200 = 350 U

Labour efficiency variance = (standard hour-actual hour)standard rate

                          -350   = (50*2.5-X)25

                        -350 = 3125-25X

25X = 3475

X(actual hour) = 139 Hour

Labour rate variance = (Standard rate-actual rate)Actual hour

                   150   = (25*139-139X)

139X = 3325

X(actual rate) = 23.92 per hour
