To determine

Compute the direct labor rate variance and the direct labor efficiency variance for June (use formula approach).

### Explanation of Solution

Direct Labor Rate Variance

The direct labor rate variance is a measure to determine the variation in the estimated cost of the direct labor and the actual cost of the direct labor and is multiplied by the actual hours is called direct labor rate variance.

The following formula is used to calculate the direct labor rate variance:

Direct labor rate variance=[(ActualRateStandard Rate)×Actual Hours]

Compute the direct labor rate variance for June (use formula approach):

Direct labor rate variance=[(ActualRateStandard Rate)×Actual Hours]=[($14.50$14.00)×386Hours]=[$.50×386Hours]=$193 U

Direct labor efficiency variance is a measure that determines the difference between the estimated labor hours and the actual labor hours used and is multiplied by the standard rate per hour is called material usage variance

2.

To determine

Compute the direct labor rate variance and the direct labor efficiency variance for June (use graphical approach).

3.

To determine

Compute the total direct labor variance for June.

4.

To determine

Compute the direct labor rate variance and efficiency variance if the actual wage rate paid in June was \$12.40.
