Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct Labor Variances Dvorak Company produces a product that requires 3 standard hours per unit at a standard hourly rate of $17 per hour. If 1,000 units required 2,800 hours at an hourly rate of $16.50 per hour.

A)

Direct labor price variance = (SR - AR) * AQ

Direct labor price variance = (17 - 16.5) * 2,800 = 1,400 favorable

B) Direct labor efficiency variance = (SQ - AQ) * standard rate

Direct labor efficiency variance = (3,000 - 2,800) * 17 = 3,400 favorable

C) Total direct labor variance = - 1400 - 3400 = - 4,800 favorable
