    Standard Rate per hour = $15.5 per hour

    Explanation:

    given data

    actual cost = $14.75

    current period = 3400 units

    direct labor hours = 8300

    direct labor efficiency variance = $3100

    to find out

    standard direct labor rate per hour

    solution

    we use here Direct Efficiency Variance formula that is

    Direct Efficiency Variance = (Standard Hours - Actual Hours) * Standard Rate per Hour ... 1

    put here value

    3100 = [ (3400 * 2.5) - 8300 ] * Standard Rate per hour

    solve it we get

    Standard Rate per hour = $15.5 per hour
