A company uses standard costing. This year the standard labour cost of a product is $180.60 per unit. The standard labour rate is $86.00 per hour. Last month 2,200 hours were worked and there was an adverse labour efficiency variance of $8,600. This variance was caused entirely by new working practices introduced by the company. The full effect of the new working practices is to be incorporated into the new standard cost of the product for next year. In addition, a labour rate increase of 10% is to be built into the new standard cost.
