Have you watched the free lecture on advanced idle time variances - if not then I suggest that you do :-) (Our lectures are a complete course for Paper F5 and cover everything you need to be able to pass the exam well) The actual hours worked are 38,000 - 3,000 = 35,000 hours The standard hours for the actual production are 20,000 x 1.5 hours = 30,000 hours. So they are inefficient by 5,000 hours. These are costed at the standard rate per working hour. The standard rate of pay is $15 per hour, but because of the 10% idle time (and therefore 90% standard working time per unit), the rate per working hour is 15/0.9 = $16.666 per hour. Therefore the efficiency variance - 5,000 x $16.666 = $83,333 adverse.
