Answer:
a. $125 U
Explanation:
The computation of the spending variance is shown below:
= Flexible cost - actual cost
where,
Flexible cost = 2,500 manicures × $0.75 = $1,875
And, the actual cost is $2,000
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the value would equal to
= $1,875 - $2,000
= $125 U
It shows a difference between the actual cost and the flexible cost. Since the flexible cost is less than the actual cost so, it is unfavorable otherwise it would be favorable
