420. “During September, 300 labour hours were worked for a total cost of Rs. 4800 The variable overhead expenditure variance was Rs. 600 (A) Overheads are assumed to be related to direct labour hours of active working. What was the standard cost per labour hour?”

Rs. 14
Rs. 1650
Rs. 1750
Rs. 18
✅ The correct answer is A.
Total Cost 4800
Variance was Rs. 600 (A)
As Variance adverse means it is higher than standard cost
So standard cost = 4800 – 600 = 4200
Labour worked 300 hours
Standard cost per labour hour = 4200/300 =14
