The direct labor cost totaled $73,600 for the month. Required: 1. What direct labor cost should have been incurred to make 20,000 units of the Jogging Mate? By how much does this differ from the cost that was incurred? 2. Break down the difference in cost from (1) above into a labor rate variance and a labor effi- ciency variance. 3. The budgeted variable manufacturing overhead rate is $4 per direct labor-hour. During August, the company incurred $21,850 in variable manufacturing overhead cost. Compute the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances for the month.
