    Sir kindly explain that in chapter 13 when calculating basic rate of pay variances of Labour you used Actual hours paid@ actual cost & Actual hours paid@ standard cost but in later chapter 14 in example 2 when calculating basic labour rate variance why you writing hours worked instead of hours paid ??

    In the second example the hours paid are the same as the hours worked because there is no mention of any idle time.
