The following standards for variable manufacturing overhead have been established for a company that makes only one product:Standard hours per unit of output3.5 hoursStandard variable overhead rate$15.20 per hourThe following data pertain to operations for the last month:Actual hours3,800hoursActual total variable manufacturing overhead cost$59,090Actual output800unitsWhat is the variable overhead efficiency variance for the month

Variable overhead efficiency variance= $15,200 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard hours per unit of output 3.5 hours

Standard variable overhead rate $15.20 per hour

Actual hours 3,800hours

Actual total variable manufacturing overhead cost $59,090

Actual output 800units

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

Variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate

Variable overhead efficiency variance= (3.5*800 - 3,800)*15.2

Variable overhead efficiency variance= $15,200 unfavorable
