    Y lc produces widgets.
    Each widget takes 0.5 hrs to make.Std rte of pay $10/hr. Idle time expected 5% of hrs paid

    They actually produce 10,800 units. They $50,000 for 6000 hrs, of which 330 hrs are idle.

    Calculates excess idle time variance?

    Excess idle time Variance = (Expected idle time ~ Actual Idle Time) x Gross up Std Rate

    $ 315.79 (Adverse) = ( 6000 x 5% ~ 330) x $10/.95
