    Labour rate variance

    = (Standard rate - Actual rate) x Actual hours worked

    = ($19 - $18) x 3,000 hours

    = $3,000 (U)

    Actual rate = Actual direct labour cost

    Actual direct labour hours worked

    Actual rate = $54,000

    3,000 hours

    Actual rate = $18 per direct labour hour

    Explanation:

    Labour rate variance is the difference between standard rate and actual rate multiplied by actual direct labour hours worked. Actual direct labour hours worked is calculated as actual direct labour cost divided by actual direct labour hours worked.
