The company experienced an unexpected surge in purchases, actually selling 2,300 coloring books. It spent $6,640 on direct labor. The one employee earned $10 per hour, as expected.

    Labour rate variance = $260 favourable

    Explanation:

    The rate variance would be the difference between the standard labour cost of the 2,300 units sold and the actual labour cost

    Standard labour cost (3600/1200 * 2300) 6,900

    Actual labour cost 6, 640

    labour rate variance $260 favourable

    The variance is favourable because the StuckinMyHouse book company saved $260 as a result of of his actual cost been less than the expected cost.
