    Instructions are below.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Labor standards are 2.0 hours per widget at $8.80 per hour.

    During August, Delmar Inc. paid its workers $147,250 for 16,500 hours.

    Delmar Inc. produced 8,600 widgets during August

    To calculate the direct labor rate and efficiency variance, we need to use the following formulas:

    Direct labor time (efficiency) variance = (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) * standard rate

    Direct labor time (efficiency) variance = (8,600*2 - 16,500) * 8.8

    Direct labor time (efficiency) variance = (17,200 - 16,500) * 8.8

    Direct labor time (efficiency) variance = $6,160 favorable

    Direct labor rate variance = (Standard Rate - Actual Rate) * Actual Quantity

    Actual rate = 147,250/16,500 = $8.92

    Direct labor rate variance = (8.8 - 8.92) 16,500

    Direct labor rate variance = $1,980 unfavorable
