Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The direct labor efficiency variance is calculated by comparing the actual labor used to the standard labor allowed for the actual production, and then multiplying the difference by the standard labor rate. The standard labor allowed for 8500 beds (assuming the standard is provided per bed, but not given in the question) needs to be compared to the actual labor used (365,500 minutes). Without the standard labor per bed, we can't calculate the exact variance here, but the correct answer is based on the information provided in the options. Since we can't calculate the exact figure due to missing standard labor details, we rely on the provided answer choices, and A is identified as the correct choice based on the question's setup.
