Solution

The direct labor rate variance is calculated as the difference between the actual hours worked multiplied by the standard rate (AH x SR) and the actual hours worked multiplied by the actual rate (AH x AR).

In this case, the calculations would be:

AH x SR = 83,000AHxAR=83,000 AH x AR = 84,000

So, the direct labor rate variance is 83,00083,000 - 84,000 = -$1,000.

A negative variance indicates that the actual cost was higher than the standard cost, which is unfavorable. Therefore, the answer is $1,000 U.
