Question

M accounting(new) |mois M1 mail G Google moodle Hurren Corporation makes a product with the following standard costs: Per Unit Hours 10.10 grams 0.2 hours 0.2 hours Rate Direct materials Direct labor $18.00 per hour $5.00 per hour $50.50 $3.60 $1.00 The company reported the following results concerning this product in June. Originally budgeted output Actual output Raw materials used in production Purchases of raw materials Actual direct labor-hours Actual cost of raw materials purchases $263,940 Actual direct labor cost Actual variable overhead cost 8,800 units 8,900 units 41700 grams 49.10 grams 740 hours $8,428 $3,404 The compeny applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. The labor rate variance for June is: O $4,910 F O $4,892 F O $4910 U O $4.892 U References

Explanation / Answer

Labour rate variance= AH(AR-SR)

where,

AH=Actual hours

AR=Actual rate

SR=standard rate

Hence,

actual hours=actual direct labour hours=740

actual rate=actual direct labour cost/actual direct labour hours

=8428/740

=11.39$ per hour

Standard rate=direct labour standard rate=$18per hour

thus,

Labour rate variance= AH(AR-SR)

=740(11.39-18)

=$4892 F

Since actual rate is less than standard rate, it is favourable.
