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?

The actual idle time is 330 hours; the standard idle time is 5% x 6000 hours = 300 hours.

so the excess idle is 30 hours.

The standard cost per working hour is 10/0.95 = $10.53.

So the excess idle time variance is 30 x $10.53 = $316
