Answer:

the actual payroll is $189,630

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation of Standard Payroll Cost

Standard Payroll Cost (flexed) = 13,100 hours×$14 per hour

= $183,400

Reconciling the Standard Payroll Cost to Actual Payroll Cost

Standard Payroll Cost (flexed) $183,400

Add unfavorable direct labor efficiency variance $15,400

Less favorable direct labor rate variance ($9,170)

Actual Payroll Cost 189,630
