For requirements 3 and 4, indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for fevorable, "U" for unfavorable, and no effect (ie, zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do no round intermediate calculations.) quantity of d spending variance

Explanation / Answer

a) Standard labour hour allowed = 195000*.04 = 7800 hour

b) Standard cost allowed = 7800*3.6 = 28080

c) Variable overhead spending variance = 28080-30530 = 2450 U

d) Variable overhead rate variance = (3.6*8600-30530) = 430 F

Variable overhead efficiency variance = (7800-8600)*3.6 = 2880 U
