    Direct labor rate variance = $1,188 unfavorable

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Standard labor rate = $7.20 per hour

    Actual hours worked = 6,600 hours

    Actual total labor cost = $48,708

    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 = 48,708/6,600 = $7.38 per hour

    Direct labor rate variance = (7.2 - 7.38) * 6,600

    Direct labor rate variance = $1,188 unfavorable
