Question

ct.html The auto repair shop of Quality Motor Company uses standards to control the labor time and labor co labor cost for a motor tune-up is given be St Rate Standard Cost Hours 2.5 $25.e0 $62.5e The record showing the time spent in the shop last week on motor tune-ups has been m that 5 splaced. However, the shop were completed during the week, and the controller recalls the following variance data relating to s 150 F 280 U the number of actual labor-hours spent on tune-ups during the week ne the actual hourly rate of pay for tune-ups last week. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) 2.

Explanation / Answer

Std hr for 1 motor tune up = 2.5 hrs, so std hr for 50 motor tune up = 2.5*50 = 125 hrs

Std rate = 25

Therefore, std cost = 125*25 = $ 3125

Labor spending variance = Std cost - Actual cost

-200 = 3125 - Actual cost

Actual cost = 3125+200 = 3325

Also Labor spending var = Labor rate var + Labor efficiency var

-200 = 150+ labor efficiency var

Labor efficiency var = -350

Labor efficiency var = (Std hr - Actual labor hrs)* Std rate

-350 = (125-Actual labor hrs) * 25

-14= 125 - actual labor hrs

Actual labor hrs = 125+14 = 139 lab hrs

Actual cost = Actual lab hrs * Actual rate per labor hr

3325 = 139* Actual rate per labor hr

Actual rate per labor hr = 3325/139 = $ 23.92

Actual Labor Hrs 139 hrs Actual hourly rate 23.92 per hr
