**Direct Labor Variance Analysis**

This analysis evaluates the direct labor cost variances for women's and men's coats. It breaks down into two components: rate variance and time variance, each of which is further divided.

### Rate Variance

- **Women's Coats:**
  - **Actual Rate:** $14.10
  - **Standard Rate:** $14.00
  - **Variance:** $0.10
  - **Actual Time:** 1,825 hours
  - **Direct Labor Rate Variance:** $182.50 (unfavorable)

- **Men's Coats:**
  - **Actual Rate:** $13.30
  - **Standard Rate:** $13.00
  - **Variance:** $0.30
  - **Actual Time:** 2,800 hours
  - **Direct Labor Rate Variance:** $840.00 (unfavorable)

- **Total Variance:** $1,022.50 (unfavorable)

### Time Variance

- **Women's Coats:**
  - **Actual Time:** 1,825 hours
  - **Standard Time:** Not specified
  - **Variance:** Not calculated
  - **Direct Labor Time Variance:** Not specified

- **Men's Coats:**
  - **Actual Time:** 2,800 hours
  - **Standard Time:** Not specified
  - **Variance:** Not calculated
  - **Direct Labor Time Variance:** Not specified

### Total Direct Labor Cost Variance

- **Total Actual Cost:** Not specified
- **Total Standard Cost:** Not specified
- **Total Direct Labor Cost Variance:** Not calculated

**Explanation of Sections:**

- **Rate Variance** examines the difference between the actual labor rate and the standard labor rate, multiplied by actual time. Positive values indicate an unfavorable variance, implying higher costs.
  
- **Time Variance** measures the difference in actual time worked versus the standard time expected, evaluated at the standard rate. Details are incomplete in this document.

- **Visual Summary:** 
  - The table summarizing costs outlines the rate and time components for both categories of coats, providing a total unfavorable variance of $1,022.50, attributed to rate differences.

This analysis supports understanding and controlling labor costs by highlighting areas where actual expenses exceeded expectations.
