    Direct labor rate variance = $405.44 favorable

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Standard Hours 0.8 hours for $36.00 per hour

    In January the company produced 3,470 units using 2,896 direct labor-hours.

    The actual direct labor cost was $103,840.

    To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need to use the following formula:

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

    Actual rate = 103,840/2,896 = $35.86

    Direct labor rate variance = (36 - 35.86) * 2,896

    Direct labor rate variance = $405.44 favorable
