Hi,
Was feeling a little bored / fed-up at work and needed brain waking up so here goes:

Standard Cost per labour hours £ 65,880 / 3,660 hours = £ 18
Standard Hours per unit of Proudction 3,660 hours / 18,300 units = 0.2

Labour Rate Variance:
Standard: 4,700 hours @ £ 18 = 84,600
Actual = £ 82,720
Variance = £ 1,880 F

Labour Efficiency Variance:
Standard 18,800 Units @ 0.2 Hours = 3,760 hours @ £ 18 = £ 67,680
Actual 4,700 hours @ £ 18 = 84,600
Varaince = £ 16,920 A

So to answer and complete the cost statement.....

Standard Labour cost of production = £ 67,680
Variances:
Labour Rate = £ (1,880) F
Labout Efficiency £ 16,920 A
Actual labour cost of production= £ 82,720
