Minmax Co.'s direct labor information for February is as follows: Direct labor hours worked (AQ) 35,600 Standard direct labor hours for units manufactured (SQ) 38,000 Unfavorable direct labor rate variance $ 17,800 Total payroll for direct labor $ 427,200 The direct labor efficiency variance in February (to the nearest dollar) was:

$27,600 unfavorable

Explanation:

In order to calculated labor efficiency variance which is standard cost of actual hours less standard cost, first compute standard rate as shown below:

Unfavorable direct labor rate variance = $17,800

Unfavorable direct labor rate variance = Actual rate - standard rate × Actual hours

Actual rate = Total payroll for direct labor ÷ Direct labor hours (AQ)

= 427,200 ÷ 35,600

= $12 per unit

Substituting the values in the above formula:

17,800 = (12 - SR) × 35,600

SR = $11.5

Now calculate Standard cost of actual hours = Direct labor hours × SR

= 35,600 × 11.5

= $409,400

Standard cost = Standard direct hours × SR

= 38,000 × 11.5

= $437,000

Direct labor efficiency variance = Standard actual of actual hours - Standard cost

= 409,400 - 437,000

= - $27,600 or $27,600 unfavorable

balanced lifestyle would be the type of lifestyle that fulfill all aspects of our life, including financial security, personal achievements, emotional balance, and intimate relationships with other people.

for me personally, the job that i would choose to achieve a balanced lifestyle is opening an online store.

online store can be managed from the comfort of our phone. if we are the owner of the store, we can determine our own working hours. we can arrange our working hours so we have time to do things such as taking care of children, cultivating romantic relationship, or do our hobby.

the clients (funders) and customers (individual nonprofit staff) are great to work with. that i can be open about being a person of faith when appropriate. the variety of my tasks each day.
