    Direct labor rate variance = $3,400 favorable

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    The company's actual total labor cost amounted to $200,600 for 17000 direct labor hours used. The standard labor cost per hour is $12.

    To calculate the direct labor rate balance, we need to use the standard rate, actual rate, and actual quantity. We need to calculate the actual rate first.

    Actual rate = 200,600/17,000 = $11.8 per hour

    Now, we can calculate the direct labor rate variance:

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

    Direct labor rate variance = (12 - 11.8) * 17,000 = $3,400 favorable

    It is favorable because the actual rate was lower than the standard.
