The total labor cost of variance is the difference of the two presented costs. The actual cost of production is presented below,

actual cost of production = $198,000

The other cost can be calculated through the equation,

cost of production = (3 hours/labor u) (($8/unit) (8,000) = $192,000

Thus, the total labor cost variance is approximately $6,000.
