Budgeted production 1,069 units Actual production   909 units Materials:     Standard price per ounce $1.85     Standard ounces per completed unit 12     Actual ounces purchased and used in production 11,235     Actual price paid for materials $23,032 Labor:     Standard hourly labor rate $14.44 per hour     Standard hours allowed per completed unit 4.2     Actual labor hours worked 4,681     Actual total labor costs $76,066 Overhead:     Actual and budgeted fixed overhead $1,032,000     Standard variable overhead rate $27.00 per standard labor hour     Actual variable overhead costs $131,068

Explanation / Answer

Option . C $ 8,472.61 unfavorable is correct answer

Direct labour rate variance

Actual labour hours worked( standard rate per hour - actual rate per hour)

Actual rate per hour = actual total labour ÷ Actual hours worked

So by putting value we can find actual rate per hour

$76066 ÷ 4681= 16.2499$ or rounded to nearest cent is $ $16.25

Actual hours worked= 4681

Standard labour rate per hour= $14.44

Actual labour rate per hour = $ 16.25

Labour rate variance

4681($14.44 -$16.25)= ($8472.61) or we can say

$8472.61 unfavorable
