Actual direct labor hours worked (AQ) 61,500 Standard direct labor hours allowed (SQ) 63,000 Total payroll for direct labor$774,900 Direct labor efficiency variance$18,000

The total standard direct labor cost allowed for February, rounded to the nearest dollar, was:

$756,000

2. Therefore, standard direct labor rate per hour, SP = Efficiency variance/(AQ ? SQ) = $18,000/(61,500 hours ? 63,000 hours) = $12.00 per hour.

3. Standard direct labor cost allowed = SP × SQ = $12.00/hour × 63,000 hours (given) = $756,000 (rounded to nearest whole dollar)
