Explanation / Answer

1.

2. Labour rate variance = Actual hours * (Standard rate - Actual rate)

= 1,700 * (9.4 - 10)

= 1,020 Unfavourable

Labour efficiency variance = Standard rate * (Standard hours - Actual hours)

= [(4.400*0.4) - 1,700] * 9.4

= 564 Favourable

Number of meals prepared (a) 4,400 Standard direct labour hours per meal (b) 0.4 Total direct labour hours allowed (c) = (a*b) 1,760 Standard direct labour cost per hour (d) 9.4 Total standard direct labour cost (e) = (c*d) 16,544 Actual cost incurred (f) 17,000 Total standard direct labour cost (g) = (e) 16,544 Total direct labour variance (h) = (f-g) 456 Unfavourable
