    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Ticktock's standard labor cost is $10 per hour.

    During June, Ticktock used 14,000 hours of direct labor at a total cost of $266,000.

    To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need to use the following formula:

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

    Actual rate = 266,000/14,000 = 19

    Direct labor rate variance = (10 - 19) * 14,000 = $126,000 unfavorable
