    The correct answer is:

    $6,998.64 favorable (b)

    Explanation:

    The direct labor rate/price variance is the difference between the standard cost of production and the actual cost incurred in the production process. If the actual rate of labor is less than the standard labor rate, it is said to be favorable, because lesser time is used in the production process than estimated. The reverse is the case for unfavorable direct labor rate variance.

    The formula is given as:

    Direct Labor Rate Variance = (SR - AR) * AH

    Where

    SR = standard rate = $12.88 per hour

    AR = actual rate = $12.00 per hour

    AH = actual direct labor hours = 7,953 hours

    ∴ Direct labor rate variance = (12.88 - 12.00) * 7,953 = $6,998.64 favorable
