Answer:

$12,140 Favorable

Not in option

Explanation:

Actual rate per hour of labor = $269,020/12,780 hours = $21.05

Standard Rate provided = $22.00

Labor Rate Variance = (Standard Rate - Actual Rate) [tex]\times[/tex] Actual Hours

Here, Actual Hours = 12,780

Therefore, Labor Rate Variance = ($22 - $21.05) [tex]\times[/tex] 12,780

= $12,140 Favorable as actual rate is less than standard rate.
