    My answer is correct (I hope!)

    However, for part (b) you still potentially get full marks if you wrote sensibly about the variances that you got in part (a) – whatever answers you got. You do not lose marks twice for the same mistake.

    The answer would have been the same whichever method you used (because there was no revision to the standard rate per hour).

    The planing variance is favourable and the operational variance is adverse.

    It is impossible for me to say – I am not the marker and I cannot see your papers.

    If your method was correct then you would still get most of the marks.

    I think the ACCA will sort it out OK.
