Question
XYZ Company makes one product and has calculated the following amounts for direct labor: AH x AR = 83,000; SH x SR = 1,000 U2,000 U$1,000 F
Solution
The direct labor rate variance is calculated as the difference between the actual hours worked multiplied by the standard rate (AH x SR) and the actual hours worked multiplied by the actual rate (AH x AR).
In this case, the calculations would be:
AH x SR = 84,000
So, the direct labor rate variance is 84,000 = -$1,000.
A negative variance indicates that the actual cost was higher than the standard cost, which is unfavorable. Therefore, the answer is $1,000 U.
