Hello Past paper June 2008 Question 1 re Chaff Co. Part B – Labour efficiency and Labour idle time. How do they get the labour rate of £20 per hour??? I thought the formula was (Standard hours produced – Actual worked) x Standard Rate (which is £18 per hour).
The answer states £20 but with no explaination as to how.
I did the same question today and used $18, it does state in the answers that the use of $18 would be acceptable, however you’re reconciliation statement would not have balanced.
