Part 4 Direct labor variances
Preliminary computations
Actual hours used:
30,500 hours (given)
Standard hours:
15,000 units x 2 hrs./unit = 30,000 hours
Actual rate:
$17.25/hr. (given)
Standard rate:
$17.00/hr. (given)
Actual units at actual cost [30,500 hrs. @ $17.25] ................................
$526,125

Part 2
Under management by exception, the manager would first identify the largest
variances, attempt to uncover their causes, and then implement actions aimed
at correcting them. The smaller variances would be tackled after the major
problems were dealt with, if at all.
