SkyChefs, Inc., prepares in-flight meals for a number of major airlines. One of the companys products is grilled salmon in dill sauce with baby new potatoes and spring vegetables. During the most recent week, the company prepared 7,300 of these meals using 1,450 direct labor-hours. The company paid these direct labor workers a total of $14,500 for this work, or $10.00 per hour.

According to the standard cost card for this meal, it should require 0.20 direct labor-hours at a cost of $9.50 per hour.

Required:
1.	According to the standards, what direct labor cost should have been incurred to prepare 7,300 meals? How much does this differ from the actual direct labor cost? (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).) Round labor-hours per meal and labor cost per hour to 2 decimal places.)

Number of meals prepared	7,300
Standard direct labor-hours per meal	0.20
Total direct labor-hours allowed	1,460
Standard direct labor cost per hour
Total standard direct labor cost
Actual cost incurred
Total standard direct labor cost
Total direct labor variance	$0

2.	Break down the difference computed in (1) above into a labor rate variance and a labor efficiency variance. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)
