Explanation / Answer

actual material used

100000 pounds

Standard material required for actual output (4*19,000)

76000

Variance = (Standard material-Actual material required)*Standard cost

(100,000-76,000)*$1= $24,000 Unfavourable

$24,000

Unfavourable

Calculation of standard direct labour cost at production volume of 5,000 units

Standard direct labour required per unit = 2hours

Total labour hours = 2*5000 units = 10,000 hours

Rate per hour = $19

Total standard labour cost = $19*10,000 = $190,000

Ans) $190,000
