Actual hours used 5,500; Standard hours allowed 5,800; Actual labor rate $14.75 per hour; and Standard labor rate $14.00 per hour. The labor efficiency variance is
Question
Actual hours used 5,500; Standard hours allowed 5,800; Actual labor rate 14.00 per hour. The labor efficiency variance is
Solution
The labor efficiency variance can be calculated using the formula:
Labor Efficiency Variance = (Standard Hours - Actual Hours) * Standard Rate
Substituting the given values into the formula:
Labor Efficiency Variance = (5,800 hours - 5,500 hours) * 14.00 per hour Labor Efficiency Variance = $4,200
So, the labor efficiency variance is $4,200. This is a favorable variance because the actual hours used are less than the standard hours allowed.
