c.$8,472.61 unfavorable
d.$20,936.97 favorable
Option . C $ 8,472.61 unfavorable is correct answer
Direct labour rate variance
Actual labour hours worked( standard rate per hour - actual rate per hour)
Actual rate per hour = actual total labour ÷ Actual hours worked
So by putting value we can find actual rate per hour
$76066 ÷ 4681= 16.2499$ or rounded to nearest cent is $ $16.25
Actual hours worked= 4681
Standard labour rate per hour= $14.44
Actual labour rate per hour = $ 16.25
Labour rate variance
4681($14.44 -$16.25)= ($8472.61) or we can say
$8472.61 unfavorable
