Direct Labor Variances Advanced Micro Devices develops high-performing computing products. Assume one of its processors, Ryzen 7 Pro, has a standard labor time of 0.25 hours and a standard labor rate of $20 per hour. During February, the following activities pertaining to direct labor for Ryzen 7 Pro were recorded: Direct labor hours used 64,000 Direct labor cost $1,248,000 Units of Ryzen 7 Pro manufactured 250,000
(a) Determine the labor rate variance.
(b) Determine the labor efficiency variance.
(c) Determine the total flexible budget labor cost variance.


Sagot :

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The labor rate variance is

= (standard rate - actual rate) × actual labor hours

= ($20 - $19.50) × 64,000

= $32,000 favorable

b. The labor efficiency variance is

= (standard hours - actual hours) × standard rate

= (62,500 - 64,000) × $20

= -$30,000 unfavorable

c. the total flexible budget variance is

= standard cost - actual cost

= ($1,250,000 - $1,248,000)

= $2,000 favorable
