Answer

a) $15

Explanation:

We will use the formula for Total labor variance to arrive at Standard rate.

Total labor variance = (Actual hours × Actual rate) - (Standard hours × Standard rate)

Substituting the data above into the formula, we'll have;

-$23,000 = (4,000 × $13) - (5,000 × SR)

-$23,000 = $52,000 - 5,000SR

Collect like terms

5,000SR = $52,000 + $23,000

5,000SR = $75,000

SR = $75,000 / 5,000

SR = $15
