Explanation / Answer

1) Direct Labor rate variance = Actual Hours X ( Standard rate -Actual rate)

= 183,000 X (22 - (4,020,000/183,000)) = 6,000 F

So Correct option is b. 6,000 F

2) Direct Labor time variance = standard rate X ( Standard hours - Actual hours)

= 22 X ( ( 27,500 X 6.6) - 183,000 )

= 33,000 U

So correct answer is C. 33,000 U
