Exercise 8-11 Working Backwards from Labor Variances [LO8-5]

The auto repair shop of Quality Motor Company uses standards to control the labor time and labor cost in the shop. The standard labor cost for a motor tune-up is given below:

Job	Standard Hours	Standard Rate	Standard Cost
Motor tune-up	2.60	$4.00	$10.40

The record showing the time spent in the shop last week on motor tune-ups has been misplaced. However, the shop supervisor recalls that 180 tune-ups were completed during the week, and the controller recalls the following variance data relating to tune-ups:

Labor rate variance	$	188	U
Labor spending variance	$	196	U

Required:
1.	Determine the number of actual labor-hours spent on tune-ups during the week.

2.	Determine the actual hourly rate of pay for tune-ups last week. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
