During the year, Octagon produced 8,000 units, used 24,000 direct labor hours, and incurred variable overhead of $120,000. Budgeted variable overhead for the year was $90,000. The hours allowed per unit are 2. The standard variable overhead rate is $3.00 per direct labor hour. The variable overhead spending variance is:

Manufacturing overhead rate(spending) variance= $24,000 favorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Actual direct labor hours= 24,000

Octagon produced 8,000 units and incurred a variable overhead of $120,000.

The hours allowed per unit are 2. The standard variable overhead rate is $3.00 per direct labor hour.

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

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

Actual rate= 120,000/24,000= 5

Manufacturing overhead rate variance=  (6 - 5)*24,000

Manufacturing overhead rate variance= $24,000 favorable

since the options are not listed, when you are working on your budget you should also add water, tv, internet, miscellaneous and your 'fun' money for in your budget. when budgeting, you need to allow for fun money, and mis/accidental money so that you stick to the budget and not go crazy because you feel strapped to the budget.
