    Actual Hours Worked = 106.5

    Actual Rate = $14.6

    Explanation:

    Labor Spending Variance = Labor Efficiency Variance Labor Rate Variance

    249 = Labor Efficiency Variance 900

    Labor Efficiency Variance = 249-900 = (651)

    Labor Efficiency variance = Actual Hours Worked * Standard Rate-Standard Hours Worked * Standard Rate

    $651 = Actual Hours Worked * $6.20-1.50 * $6.20

    $651 = Actual Hours Worked * $6.20 - 9.3

    651+9.3 / 6.2 = Actual Hours Worked

    Actual Hours Worked = 106.5

    Labor Rate Variance = Actual Hours Worked * Actual Rate - Actual Hours Worked * Standard Rate

    $900 F = 106.5 * Actual Rate - 106.5 * $6.20

    900 + 660.3 / 106.5=Actual Rate

    Actual Rate = $14.6
