The following data is given for the Harry Company:

Budgeted production 26,000 units
Actual production 27,500 units

Materials:
Standard price per ounce $6.50
Standard ounces per completed unit 8
Actual ounces purchased and used in production 228,000
Actual price paid for materials $1,504,800

Labor:
Standard hourly labor rate $22 per hour
Standard hours allowed per completed unit 6.6
Actual labor hours worked 183,000
Actual total labor costs $4,020,000

Overhead:
Actual and budgeted fixed overhead $1,029,600
Standard variable overhead rate $24.50 per standard labor hour
Actual variable overhead costs $4,520,000
Overhead is applied on standard labor hours. (Round interim calculations to the nearest cent.)

The direct labor rate variance is:a. 6,000Ub. 6,000Fc. 33,000Fd. 33,000U

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option (b) : $6,000 F

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,  computation are as follows:

Standard rate = $22.00

Actual labor hours = 183,000

Actual rate = Actual labor cost ÷ actual labor hour

= $4,020,000 ÷ 183,000 hours = $21.9672

Variance = (standard rate - actual rate) × actual labor hour

= ($22.00 - $21.9672) × 183,000

= $6,000 F

The aprroximated direct labor rate variance for Harry Company is  $6,000 F.

What is a direct labor rate variance?

This means the difference between the total cost of direct labor at standard cost and the actual direct labor cost.

Given data

Standard rate = $22.00

Actual labor hours = 183,000

Actual rate = Actual labor cost / actual labor hour

Actual rate = $4,020,000 / 183,000 hours

Actual rate = $21.9672

Variance = (Standard rate - Actual rate) × Actual labor hour

Variance = ($22.00 - $21.9672) × 183,000

Variance = $6,000 F

Therefore, the Option B is correct.
