Answer:

B) $ 1,614

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the information

  • Actual:

Production= 3,350 units

Direct labor cost= $159,786

Direct labor hours= 13,450

=> rate per hour = $159,786 / 13,450 = $11.88

  • Standard

4 direct labor-hours for 1 unit

$12.00 per direct labor-hour

Budgeted production : 3,350 + 150 = 3500 units

=> The labor rate variance for the month was:

Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity

= ($12.00 - $11.88 )*13,450

= 1614

We choose B
