f.) None of these.

Direct Labor Rate variance=1900 unfavorable

Explanation:

Andover LLC

Actual labor hours = 19,000

Completed Units = 6800

Actual Payroll = $ 214,700

Actual Rate = $ 214,700 / 19,000 = $ 11.3

Standard Rate $ 11.2

Formula

Direct Labor Rate variance = (actual hours * actual rate) - (actual hours * standard rate)

Direct Labor Rate variance = (19000) 11.3-11.2 = 19000 * 0.1 = 1900 unfavorable

The direct labor rate variance is unfavorable because the actual rate is higher than the standard rate.
