There are no beginning or ending inventories for direct materials.

For direct labor, what is the total budget variance?

Standards     Cloth (Direct Materials)         Standard Price $ 5     Direct Labor         Standard Rate $ 12 December Data     Number of Sails Produced 22,980     Cloth (Direct Materials)         Actual Price $ 4         Actual Usage 102,469 square yards         Standard Quantity Allowed (given production) 100,642 square yards     Direct Labor         Actual Rate $ 9         Actual Usage 21,497 hours         Standard Quantity Allowed (given production) 17,434 hours

Explanation / Answer

standard total labour cost

standard rate

$                   12

standard quantity allowed

              17,434

standard total labour cost

$       2,09,208

actual total labour cost

actual rate

$                    9

actual quantity used

              21,497

actual total labour cost

$       1,93,473

Total budget labour variance = (standard total labour cost-actual total labour cost)

= $2,09,208-$1,93,473=$15,735 (F)

Total budget labour variance = $15,735 (favourable)
