Question
The accountant for Daily Manufacturing compares each month's actual results with the monthly budget.The standard direct labour rates and the standard hours allowed based on expected labour output are as follows :
Standard direct labour rate Standard direct labour hours per hour allowed
Labour class 3 $25 2000
Labour class 2 $22 2000
Labour class1 $16 2000
A new union contract negotiated in March resulted in actual wage rates that were different from the standard rates. The actual wage rates paid and the actual direct labour hours worked for April were as follows:
Actual direct labour rate Actual direct labour hours per hour
Labour class 3 $26.20 2100
Labour class 2 $23.80 2350
Labour class 3 $16.80 1900
Required :
1. Calculate the following variances for April indicating whether each is favourable or unfavourable:
(a)Direct labour rate variance for each labour class
(b)Direct labour efficiency variance for each labour class
2.Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of a standard costing system in which the standard direct labour rates per hour are not changed during the year to reflect events such as a new labour contract.
3.Construct an Excel or other spreadsheet to demonstrate how the solution would change if the following information changes:the actual labour rates were $27.00, $22.90 and $17.00 for labour classes 3,2 and 1 respectively.

Use rspe or excel to develop a spreadsheet model
: Rather than inspect every item in a large lot companies generally inspect a random sample and on the basis of the results of the sample decide to accept or reject the lot. Instead of using a single sample a method called double sampling is som..
