Assume the following: The standard labor rate per hour is $17.00. The standard labor-hours allowed per unit of finished goods is 3 hours. The actual quantity of labor hours worked during the period was 44,000 hours. The total actual direct labor cost for the period was $726,000. The company produced 15,000 units of finished goods during the period. What is the labor efficiency variance

Answer :

Parraingo

Answer: $17,000

Explanation:

Labour efficiency variance = Standard rate * (Standard hours - Actual hours )

Standard hours:

= Standard labor-hours allowed per unit * Number of units produced in period

= 3 * 15,000

= 45,000 hours

Labor efficiency variance = 17 * (45,000 - 44,000)

= $17,000 Favorable

Favorable because the standard amount is higher than the actual amount.
