Direct Labor Variance
Rate variance:

Direct labor time variance……………
$ (2,170) F$ 1,860 U(310) F
Total direct labor cost variance……………
$ 936 U
Alternatively, total direct labor cost variance:

2,500 = 0.50 hr. × 5,000 actual production of dark chocolate
6,000 = 0.60 hr. × 10,000 actual production of dark chocolate
2. The variance analyses should be based on the standard amounts at actual
volumes. The budget must flex with the volume changes. If the actual volume is
