Labour rate variance is the difference between actual hour worked at standard rate and actual labour cost.
Labour efficiency variance is the difference between standard hour worked and actual hour worked value at standard rate per hour. Standard hour = standard hour per unit x actual unit.
Purpose of calculating it is of course for reporting and control purpose. You can identify which area is different from standard and take control if it is significant.November 13, 2010 at 5:46 pm #70417how would u know if the answer got is favourable or adverse ?

By common sense, for example, if you are paying more than what you should be paying, then it is adverse variance.
