Flapjack Corporation had 7,680 actual direct labor hours at an actual rate of $12.45 per hour. Original production had been budgeted for 1,100 units, but only 960 units were actually produced. Labor standards were 7.2 hours per completed unit at a standard rate of $13.00 per hour. Round your answer to the nearest cent. The direct labor time variance is $4,208.64 unfavorable $4,208.64 favorable $9,984.00 unfavorable $9,984.00 favorable

Labour time (efficiency) variance =   $9,984 unfavorable

Explanation:

The labour time variance is the dollar value of the difference between the standard time allowed for the actual output produced and the actual time used.

                                                                            Hours

Standard hours ( 960 units × 7.2 hours )   =   6,912

Actual hours                                                     7,680

Time variance                                                     768 Unfavorable

×  standard labour rate                                     ×  $13

 Variance                                                         $9,984 Unfavorable

there was no passage listed but using the process of elimination i'd say it was d. the high economy would do the opposite. i don't see how low prices would affect it. high unemployment is possible but i feel d is the better answer.
