The standard cost for the standard hours worked must be 116,000 + 4,000 = 120,000. Therefore the standard cost per hour must be 120,000/30,000 = $4. Therefore they must have worked 4,000/4 hours fewer than standard, so must have actually worked for 29,000 hours. The actual cost for the actual hours worked is 116,000 - 5,800 = 110,200 Therefore the actual cost per hour is 110,200 / 29,000 = $3.80.
