Solution

The direct labor cost variance is calculated as the difference between the actual cost of labor and the standard cost of labor.

Here are the given values:

  • Actual Hours (AH) x Actual Rate (AR) = $84,000 (Actual Cost)
  • Actual Hours (AH) x Standard Rate (SR) = $83,000 (Actual Hours at Standard Rate)
  • Standard Hours (SH) x Standard Rate (SR) = $85,000 (Standard Cost)

The formula for direct labor cost variance is:

Direct Labor Cost Variance = Actual Cost - Standard Cost

Substituting the given values into the formula:

Direct Labor Cost Variance = 84,00084,000 - 85,000 = -$1,000

The negative sign indicates that the variance is unfavorable (U), so the answer is $1,000 U.
