actual time spent on a manicure 1hour; hourly wage rate $12; payroll taxes 10% of wage rate; set-up and downtime 6% of actual labour time; cleanup and rest periods 18% of actual labour time.

a) Determine the standard direct labour hours per manicure.

b) Determine the direct labour cost per direct labour hour.

c) If a manicure took 1 hour at the standard hourly rate, what is the direct labour quantity variance on that one manicure?

d) If one employee has an hourly wage rate of $12.50 and she worked 36 hours on completing manicures for the week,what is the direct labour price variance
