Direct labour cost variance
（重定向自Labour Rate Variance）
Direct labour cost variance is the difference between the standard cost for actual production and the actual cost in production.
There are two kinds of labour variances. Labour Rate Variance is the difference between the standard cost and the actual cost paid for the actual number of hours. Labour efficiency variance is the difference between the standard labour hour that should have been worked for the actual number of units produced and the actual number of hours worked when the labour hours are valued at the standard rate.
