Notations :

Standard Hours for actual output = SH

Standard Rate per hour = SR

Actual hours = AH

Actual Rate per hour = AR

Standard direct labour cost for actual output = SH * SR   

Now.

Direct Labour Rate variance = (SR - AR) * AH --------------------Eq 1

$1800 (A) = (SR * AH) - (AR* AH)

(-) $1800 = (SR * AH) - Actual cost

(-) $1800 = (SR * AH) - $67000

(SR * AH) = $65200

SR = 65200 / AH

Direct labour efficiency variance = ( SH -AH) * SR ---------------------Eq 2

$2900 (F) = (SH * SR) - (AH * SR)

2900 = (SH * SR) - [ AH * ( 65200 / AH) ] ----------{from eq 1}

2900 = (SH * SR) - [65200]

(SH * SR) = 65200 + 2900

Standard direct labour cost for actual output = $68100
