    Standard labour rate = $19.6 (unfavourable).

    Explanation:

    The labour cost variance can be calculated as below:

    Variance = Actual cost - Standard cost

    = Actual labour rate x Actual hour of labour - Standard labour rate x Actual hour of labour

    Putting all the number together, we get:

    880 = 17.5 x 420 - Standard labour rate x 420. Solve the equation, we get: Standard labour rate = 19.6 (unfavourable)
