b.)

Direct labor rate variance = standard cost of labor for actual hours worked - actual cost of labor for actual hours worked

= standard rate * actual hours - actual rate * actual hours

=16.50* 450- 17* 450

=  7,425- 7650

= -225 (unfavorable)

 

c.)

Total direct labor cost variance= Time variance+ Direct labor rate variance

= 82.5+ (-225)

= 142.5 Unfavorable
