Answer:
Variance will be $1200
So option (d) will be correct option
Explanation:
We have given direct labor hour = 16000
Budget for indirect material = $48000
So indirect material cost [tex]=\frac{48000}{16000}=3\ per\ direct\ labor\ hour[/tex]
Budgeted cost = 3×16400 = $49200
Actual cost = $50400
So variance = $50400 - $49200 = $1200 unfavorable ( As budgeted cost is less than actual cost )
So option (d) is correct answer
