    option (D) $21.66

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Basic direct labor rate per hour = $12.68

    Payroll taxes = 13 % of basic direct labor rate

    Fringe benefits per hour = $7.33

    Now,

    The standard rate per direct labor hour

    = Basic direct labor rate per hour + Payroll taxes + Fringe benefits per hour

    = $12.68 + (13% of $12.68) + $7.33

    = $12.68 + $1.6484 + $7.33

    = $21.6584 or $21.66

    Hence,

    The correct answer is option (D) $21.66
