Chapter 10
1. For the most recent week, Tyra's Trinkets budgeted to make 1,000 units and to use 300
hours of labor. Tyra budgets to pay her employees $15.00 per labor hour.
Tyra actually made 900 units and used 200 hours of labor during the most recent week.
Tyra paid her employees $2,800 for the 200 hours of labor.
What is Tyra's labor efficiency variance for the most recent week?
A. $1,700 F
B. $2,700 U
C. $200 F
D. $1,050 F
E. None of the above
Labor efficiency variance is the difference between the Std Qty Allowed and As If Budget
Need SQA x BP and AQ x BP
SQA = act qty of units x bud labor hrs per unit assumption = 900 units x (300 hrs / 1,000 units) = 270 hrs
AQ = Actual qty x actual labor hrs per unit = 200 hrs (given)
BP = $15.00 (given)
Labor efficiency variance = (270 - 200) x $15 or (270 x $15) - (200 x $15) = $1,050 F2. JOLO Inc provides you with the following data for the most recent month of operations:
Budgeted output 5,000 units
Actual output 5,700 units
Labor rate variance $9,600 U
Labor efficiency variance $6,000 U
Budgeted quantity of labor 2 labor hours per unit
Budgeted price $10 per labor hour
What was the actual labor rate per hour?
A. $10.80
B. $9.60
C. $9.20
D. $9.40
E. None of the above
What is given?
Info to calc SQA = 5,700 units x 2.0 hrs x $10 = $114,000
Since have $6,000 U labor efficiency variance, know that As If = $114,000 + $6,000 = $120,000
Therefore, amt of actual labor hrs to make 5,700 units = $120,000 / $10 = 12,000 actual labor hrs
Since have $9,600 U labor rate variance, know that Actual = $120,000 + $9,600 = $129,600
$129,600 / 12,000 labor hours = $10.80 actual labor rate per hour
SQA As IF Actual
5,700 5,700 5,700

11,400 12,000 12,000
$10.00 $10.00 $10.80

3. The company produces a single product.
Below are the budget assumptions (standards) for one unit of the product for the year:
6 pounds of direct materials will be used per unit at a cost of $3.00 per pound
Each unit will require 0.8 hours of direct labor.
The direct labor rate will be $15.00 per hour.
VMOH is allocated (applied) based on direct labor hours at a rate of $3.00 per hour.
The budgeted amount of direct materials, direct labor and VMOH costs for the actual units
produced during the year were $405,000, $270,000 and $54,000 respectively
