Answer:
B) $ 1,614
Explanation:
Given the information
Production= 3,350 units
Direct labor cost= $159,786
Direct labor hours= 13,450
=> rate per hour = $159,786 / 13,450 = $11.88 
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
