Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard direct labor-hours 1.4 hours per unit

Standard direct labor rate $ 12.00 per hour

Actual production was 5,500 units.

The company used 6,800 direct labor-hours to produce this output.

To calculate the direct labor efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate

Standard quantity= 5,500*1.4= 7,700

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (7,700 - 6,800)*12

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $10,800 favorable
