Solution

To solve this problem, we first need to calculate the standard labor cost per pie and the actual labor cost per pie.

  1. Standard labor cost per pie: 3/4 hour x 12.50perhour=12.50 per hour = 9.375 per pie

  2. Actual labor cost per pie: 135,000for9,000hours=135,000 for 9,000 hours = 15 per hour. Since each pie takes 3/4 hour to make, the actual labor cost per pie is 3/4 hour x 15perhour=15 per hour = 11.25 per pie

Next, we calculate the direct labor price variance, which is the difference between the actual cost and the standard cost, multiplied by the actual quantity of input.

Direct labor price variance = (Actual cost per unit - Standard cost per unit) x Actual quantity = (11.25perpie11.25 per pie - 9.375 per pie) x 18,000 pies = 1.875perpiex18,000pies=1.875 per pie x 18,000 pies = 33,750

Since the actual cost is higher than the standard cost, the variance is unfavorable.

So, the answer is $33,750 unfavorable.
