Answer:

A. Direct Labor Rate variance -$6250 Favorable

Direct labor time variance $4800 Unfavorable

Total Direct Labor Cost Variance $-1450 Favorable

B. Dr Work In Process $116,650

Explanation:

A.

Calculation to determine Direct Labor Rate variance using this formula

Direct Labor Rate variance= (actual hours* actual rate)- (actual hours * standard rate)

Let plug in the formula

Direct Labor Rate variance=( 5000 *22.75) - (5000*24)

Direct Labor Rate variance= $113750- 120,000= Direct Labor Rate variance-6250 Favorable

Calculation to determine Direct labor time variance using this formula

Direct labor time variance= (Actual hours* Standard rate)- (Standard hours * Standard rate)

Let plug in the formula

Direct labor time variance= (5000 * 24) -(4800 * 24)

Direct labor time variance= 120,000-115200

Direct labor time variance= 4800 Unfavorable

Calculation to determine Total Direct Labor Cost Variance using this formula

Total Direct Labor Cost Variance= Direct Labor Rate variance + Direct labor time variance

Let plug in the formula

Total Direct Labor Cost Variance= -6250 Favorable + 4800 Unfavorable

Total Direct Labor Cost Variance= -1450 Favorable

b. Preparation of the journal entry to determine How much direct labor should be debited to Work in Process

Dr Work In Process $116,650

Cr Direct Labor Cost Variance $ 1,450

Cr Payroll $ 115,200

Therefore the amount of Direct Labor to be Debited to Work In Process is $116,650
