swat32

Answer:

$2,430F

Explanation:

The formulae for labor rate variance is given as (Actual rate - Standard rate) × Actual hours worked.

Labor rate variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate) × Actual hours worked

Given that;

Actual rate = Actual total labor cost ÷ Actual hours worked

= $119,880 ÷ 8,100

= $14.8 per hour

Standard rate = $15.10 per hour

Actual hours worked = 8,100

Labor rate variance = ($14.8 - $15.10) × 8,100

Labor rate variance $2,430F
