S1: In standard costing, the 'Labour Efficiency Variance' is calculated as (Standard Hours for Actual Production - Actual Hours Worked) x Standard Rate. S2: If the actual hours worked are less than the standard hours, the variance is favorable. Which statement(s) is/are correct?
A. S2 only
B. Both S1 and S2
C. Neither S1 nor S2
D. S1 only
Answer: Option B
