Respuesta :

Answer:

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $229 favorable

Explanation:

eGiving the following information:

Variable overhead 0.6 hours $4.00per hour

The company used 2,290 direct labor-hours

The actual variable overhead cost was $8,931.

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

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

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (4 - 3.9)*2,290

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $229 favorable

Actual rate= 8,931 / 2,290= $3.9
