Answer 1

C. $21,375 unfavorable

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard rate = $30 per hour

Actual rate = $31.25

Actual time = 17,100 direct labor hours

Direct manufacturing labor price variance= Actual time * (Standard rate - Actual rate)

= 17,100 * ($30 - $31.25)

= 17,100 * (-$1.25)

= $21,375 Unfavorable

So, the Direct manufacturing labor price variance during June is $21,375 U.
