Make a note, these are on my short list for 30 Nov. The examiner refers to them in most of his reports but hasn't examined them recently.
They are ratios, but are very similar to the fixed overhead efficiency and capacity variances.
Efficiency ...............standard hours produced
.............................actual hours worked
It shows whether the hours worked were more or less than the standard hours we'd expect.
If it is more than 1 (or100%) that shows an efficient workforce -quicker than standard
If it is less than 1 (100%) an inefficient workforce
Capacity again compares the same things as the variance (Actual hours and budgeted hours)
actual hours worked
.....budgeted hours
If the actual hours worked are more than the budget we will have had more capacity than planned, and the ratio will be more than 1 (100%)
If less, the ratio will be less than 1.Sandy

Hi
Labour Capacity is Actual Hrs/Budget Hrs
Labour Efficiency is Standard Hrs/Actual Hrs
Hope this helps

In this exam
Actual hours worked: 58,200
Budgeted hours: 60,000
Standard hours: 5 hours per desk (60,000hrs/12,000 desks in the budget) x 11,200 desks produced = 56,000Sandy

Capacity: 58,200.........0.97 (or 97%)
...........60,000
Efficiency: 56,000.........0.962 (or 96.2%)
...........58,200Sandy
