Flapjack Corporation had 7,953 actual direct labor hours at an actual rate of $12.00 per hour. Original production had been budgeted for 1,100 units, but only 988 units were actually produced. Labor standards were 7.5 hours per completed unit at a standard rate of $12.88 per hour. The direct labor rate variance is a.$6,998.64 unfavorable b.$6,998.64 favorable c.$7,299.25 unfavorable d.$7,299.25 favorable

The correct answer is:

$6,998.64 favorable (b)

Explanation:

The direct labor rate/price variance is the difference between the standard cost of production and the actual cost incurred in the production process. If the actual rate of labor is less than the standard labor rate, it is said to be favorable, because lesser time is used in the production process than estimated. The reverse is the case for unfavorable direct labor rate variance.

The formula is given as:

Direct Labor Rate Variance = (SR - AR) × AH

Where

SR = standard rate = $12.88 per hour

AR = actual rate = $12.00 per hour

AH = actual direct labor hours = 7,953 hours

∴ Direct labor rate variance = (12.88 - 12.00) × 7,953 = $6,998.64 favorable

the correct answer is:

it required the president to inform congress within forty-eight hours of any new troop commitment.

the war powers resolution (1973) is a federal law designed to limit the u.s. president’s ability to initiate or intensify military actions abroad without the approval of the congress.

it establishes that the president can send armed forces into action abroad only by declaration of war by congress, statutory authorization, or in case of a national emergency created by attack upon the united states, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

it requires the president to notify congress within 48 hours of sending armed forces to military action.
