Which of the following statements is correct?
1. Budgeted production volumes were achieved during the period
2. Direct labour is a variable cost
3. The actual selling price per unit exceeded the standard selling price per unit
4. Direct material cost savings were achieved against the budget cost allowance
I have calculated the selling price and answer 3 is correct but why is answer 2 wrong
It seems that you have not typed out the whole question because you have not given the $ amounts.
If the labour cost per unit is the same, then it is a variable cost. However if the cost per unit is not the same then it becomes a semi-variable cost (part variable and past fixed).
