Direct labor rate variance = (Standard Rate - Actual Rate) * Actual Quantity

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Actual and budgeted fixed overhead $1,092,000

Standard variable overhead rate $27.00 per standard labor hour

Actual variable overhead costs $137,144

We weren't provided with enough information to calculate the direct labor rate variance. But I will provide the formula.

Direct labor rate variance = (Standard Rate - Actual Rate) * Actual Quantity

Actual rate = actual direct labor costs/total actual hours worked
