Question: Exercise 1 0 - 4 ( Algo ) Direct Labor and Variable Manufacturing Overhead Variances [ LO 1 0 - 2 , LO 1 0

Exercise 10-4(Algo) Direct Labor and Variable Manufacturing Overhead Variances [LO10-2, LO10-3]
Erie Company manufactures a mobile fitness device called the Jogging Mate. The company's labor standards for one Jogging Mate are as follows:
Standard Hours Standard Rate per Hour Standard Cost
24 minutes $ 6.00 $ 2.40
During August, 8,210 hours of direct labor time were needed to make 19,200 units of the Jogging Mate. The direct labor cost totaled $47,618 for the month.
Required:
What is the standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to makes 19,200 Jogging Mates?
What is the standard labor cost allowed (SH \times SR) to make 19,200 Jogging Mates?
What is the labor spending variance?
What are the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance?
The budgeted variable manufacturing overhead rate is $4.30 per direct labor-hour. During August, the company incurred $42,692 in variable manufacturing overhead cost. Compute the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances for the month.
Note: For requirements 3 through 5, indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.
