Solution
CE 25-2
(a) 1.25 hours + .05 (1.25 hours) + .15 (1.25 hours) = 1.25 + .0625 + .1875 = 1.5 hours
(b) $50 + .12($50) + .20($50) = $50 + $6 + $10 = $66 per hour
(c) 1.5 x $66 = $99 per piano
(d) (AQ x SP) – (SQ x SP) = Direct labor quantity variance
$108.90 - $99 = $9.90 Unfavorable
(e) (1) (AQ x AP) – (AQ x SP) = Direct labor price variance
