Answer:

Variable manufacturing overhead spending variance= $2,000 favorable

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 2,400,000 / 240,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $10 per machine hour

To calculate the variable overhead spending variance, we need to use the following formula:

Variable manufacturing overhead spending variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity

Variable manufacturing overhead spending variance= (15 - 214,000/21,600)*21,600

Variable manufacturing overhead spending variance= $2,000 favorable

The Nanjones' variable overhead spending variance for November is a. $6,000 favorable.

Data and Calculations:

                                            Planning Data                Actual Data    Variances

                                       Annual          November     November  

Fixed overhead          $1,200,000     $100,000          $101,200       $1,200 U

Variable overhead    $2,400,000    $220,000         $214,000      $6,000  F

Direct labor hours             48,000          4,000               4,200            200  U

Machine hours               240,000        22,000             21,600             400  F

Thus, the Nanjones' variable overhead spending variance for November is the difference between planned expenses and actual expenses, which is $6,000 ($214,000 - $220,000) favorable.
