Accurate Tax Returns budgets two direct labor hours for every tax return that it prepares, at a standard cost of $ 32 an hour. During the most recent year, 540 returns were completed with the labor cost totaling $ 26 comma 000. The actual labor cost was $ 48.15 per hour during that period. The actual number of labor hours was 1 comma 000. What is the direct labor cost variance?

    Labor cost variance refers to the variance, which is determined by subtracting the actual direct labor cost from the standard direct labor cost associated with the product.

    Explanation:

    Given that:

    Actual hours = 1,000

    Actual rate = $48.15

    Standard rate = $32 per hr.

    Now,

    Labor Cost variance = Actual hours * (Actual rate - Standard Rate)

    Labor Cost variance = 1000 * (48.15 - 32)

    Labor Cost variance = 1000 * 16.15

    Labor Cost variance = 16,150
