Answer:
rate variance $ 72,000.00 F
efficiency variance $ 75,000.00 U
Total Variance: 3,000.00 U
Explanation:
DIRECT LABOR VARIANCES
[tex](standard\:rate-actual\:rate) \times actual \: hours = DL \: rate \: variance[/tex]
std rate $ 15.00
actual rate $ 12.60 (378,000 labor cost / 30,000 labor hours)
actual hours 30,000
difference $2.40
rate variance $72,000.00
As the company wages were lower than expected, it saved rate-related cost
[tex](standard\:hours-actual\:hours) \times standard \: rate = DL \: efficiency \: variance[/tex]
std hours 25000.00 (5,000 units x 5hours each = 25,000)
actual hours 30000.00
std rate $15.00
difference -5000.00
As the company use more hours the cost were higher than standard
efficiency variance $(75,000.00)
