(Do not round intermediate calculations. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable.) Direct Labor Rate Varance Direct Labor Efficiency Variance

Explanation / Answer

Direct labor rate variance = (11.10*312000-3681600) = 218400 U

Direct labor efficiency variance = (1080000*.3-312000)*11.10 = 133200 F
