Solution

To calculate the direct labor variance, we first need to find the standard cost and the actual cost.

The standard cost for direct labor is calculated as follows: Standard labor hours per unit * Standard labor rate per hour * Actual number of units produced = 1 hour/unit * 10.00/hour35,000units=10.00/hour * 35,000 units = 350,000

The actual cost for direct labor is given as $374,400.

The direct labor variance is then calculated as follows: Standard cost - Actual cost = 350,000350,000 - 374,400 = -$24,400

The negative sign indicates that the actual cost was higher than the standard cost, which is unfavorable. Therefore, the direct labor variance is 24,400Unfavorable(U).So,thecorrectansweris"24,400 Unfavorable (U). So, the correct answer is "24,400 U".
