    Hello,

    I am doing this question but I am having issues with the labour efficiency planning variance.

    Std hours used is fine = 3*12600 = 37800

    My issue is with the revised std

    It says in the question that 15 minutes extra is needed for each pair due to a change in design.
    Therefore I would assume the revised std to be 3.15*12600=39690

    But Kaplan has the revised std as 3.25*12600

    How did they get the time of 3 hrs 25?

    Thank you!

    There are 60 minutes in 1 hour. So 15 minutes is 15/60 = 0.25 hours.
