Solution

The direct labor cost variance is calculated as the difference between the actual cost of direct labor and the standard cost of direct labor.

Here, AH x AR = Actual cost = 84,000AHxSR=Actualhoursatstandardrate=84,000 AH x SR = Actual hours at standard rate = 83,000 SH x SR = Standard cost = $85,000

The formula for direct labor cost variance is Actual Cost - Standard Cost.

So, the direct labor cost variance = 84,00084,000 - 85,000 = -$1,000.

This is unfavorable because the actual cost is more than the standard cost. So, the answer is $1,000 U.
