Direct labor is manufacture or services labor that is allocated to an exact product, cost focus, or work order.

To solve this, the equation would be: price variance / direct labor hours x standard rate of pay

So plugging in our dа ta:

= 10,500 / 10,500 + 12

= 13

The actual rate is $13 per direct labor hour.
