Read the requirements. Requirement 1. Compute the direct labor rate variance and the direct labor efficiency variance. (Enter the variances as positive numbers. Enter the currency amounts in the formulas to the nearest cent, then round the final variance amounts to the nearest whole dollar. Label the variance as favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). Abbreviations used: DL = Direct labor) Begin with the direct labor rate variance. First determine the formula for the rate variance, then compute the rate variance for direct labor.
