Solution

The labor rate variance can be calculated using the formula:

Labor Rate Variance = (Actual Labor Rate - Standard Labor Rate) * Actual Hours Used

Substituting the given values into the formula:

Labor Rate Variance = (14.7514.75 - 14.00) * 5,500

Labor Rate Variance = $0.75 * 5,500

Labor Rate Variance = $4,125

So, the labor rate variance is $4,125. This is a favorable variance because the actual labor rate is higher than the standard labor rate.
