Hollowell Audio Inc. manufactures military-specification compact discs. The company uses standards to control its costs. The labor standards that have been set for one disc are as follows:StandardHoursStandardRate per HourStandardCost 27 minutes$ 6.20$ 2.79 During July 9 420 hours of direct labor time were required to make 19 400 discs. The direct labor cost totaled $57 462 for the month.Required:1a.According to the standards what direct labor cost should have been incurred to make the 19 400 discs? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Total standard direct labor cost$ 1b.By how much does this differ from the cost that was incurred? (Input the amount as a positive value. Do not round intermediate calculations. Leave no cells blank – be certain to enter “0” wherever required. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting “F” for favorable “U” for unfavorable and “None” for no effect (i.e. zero variance).)
