    D. $ 16 comma 862.50 unfavorable

    Explanation:

    The computation of the direct labor efficiency variance is shown below:

    Direct labor efficiency variance is

    = Standard rate * (Actual hours - standard hours)

    = $9.50 * (3,000 direct labor hours - 4,900 units * 0.25 hours)

    = $9.50 * (3,000 direct labor hours - 1,225 direct labor hours)

    = $16,862.50 unfavorable

    As actual hours is more than the standard hours which reflects the unfavorable variance and if actual hours is less than the standard hours then it would leads to favorable variance
