    B) $15,000 favorable

    Explanation:

    The computation of the direct labor rate variance is shown below:

    Direct labor rate variance = Actual hours * (Standard rate - actual rate)

    = 7,500 hours * ($27 per hour - $25 per hour)

    = 7.500 hours * $2 per hour

    = $15,000 favorable

    The other things which are mentioned in the question are not relevant. Hence, ignored that part.
