First, let's calculate Davis' regular pay and overtime pay:

Regular pay: 40 hours x $20/hour = $800 
Overtime pay: 4 hours x $30/hour = $120

Total pay: $800 + $120 = $920

Next, let's calculate the amount of compensation credited to indirect labour.

Overtime premium: 4 hours x $10/hour = $40 
Idle time: 5 hours x $20/hour = $100

Total compensation credited to indirect labour: $40 + $100 = $140

Therefore, the answer is D.
