Answer:

Direct labor rate variance= $400 unfavorable

Step-by-step explanation:

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

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

Direct labor rate variance= (15.6 - 17.6)*200

Direct labor rate variance= $400 unfavorable

Actual rate= 3,520 / 200= $17.6
