    Labor Efficiency Variance=268 Unfavorable

    Labor Rate Variance = $ 150 Favorable

    Total Direct Labor Cost Variance = $ 118

    Work In Process $ 6432 debit

    Explanation:

    Glacier Bicycle Company

    Quantity of direct labor used 500 hrs.

    Actual rate for direct labor $13.10 per hr.

    Standard direct labor per bicycle 2 hrs.

    Standard rate for direct labor $13.40 per hr

    The labor efficiency variance = (Standard Hours allowed * standard labor Rate) - (Actual Hours * standard labor Rate)

    Labor Efficiency Variance = (SH * SR) - (AH*SR)

    Labor Efficiency Variance = (2 * 240 * 13.4) - (500 * 13.4)

    Labor Efficiency Variance = (480*13.4) - (500 * 13.4)

    Labor Efficiency Variance = $ 6432 - $ 6700 = 268 Unfavorable

    Labor Rate Variance = (actual hours * actual rate) - (actual hours * standard rate)

    Labor Rate Variance = (500 * 13.1) - (500*13.4) = 6550-6700 = $ 150 Favorable

    Total Direct Labor Cost Variance = Labor Efficiency Variance + Labor Rate Variance

    Total Direct Labor Cost Variance = 268 Unfavorable + $ 150 Favorable

    Total Direct Labor Cost Variance = $ 118

    Work In Process $ 6432 debit

    Labor Efficiency Variance 268 Unfavorable debit

    Labor Rate Variance$ 150 Favorable credit

    Accrued Payroll $ 6550 credit
