Japan Company produces lamps that require 3 standard hours per unit at an hourly rate of $16.50 per hour. Production of 3,700 units required 11,430 hours at an hourly rate of $17.00 per hour. Enter favorable variances as negative numbers.
(a) Determine the direct labor rate variance. |
$(Favorable/Unfavorable) |
|
(b) Determine the direct labor time variance. |
$(F/U) |
|
(c) Determine the cost variance. |
$(F/U) |
a)Labor rate variance = AH[AR-SR]
= 11430 [17-16.5]
= 5715 U
b)labor time variance = SR[AH-SH]
= 16.5[11430-(3700*3)]
= 16.5[11430-11100]
= 5445 U
C)cost variance =rate variance + time variance
= 5715 +5445
= 11160 U
