The following data pertain to operations for the last month:

Actual hours ------------------------------------------------ 2,400 hours

Actual total variable manufacturing overhead cost --- $30,360

Actual output ----------------------------------------------- 600 units

What is the variable overhead efficiency variance for the month?

$9,219U

$10,179U

$9,867U

$648U

a.

$9,219U

b.

$10,179U

c.

$9,867U

d.

$648U

Explanation / Answer

Variable overhead Efficiency variance (Actual hours - standard hrs allowed)* standard rate (2,400   - 600*2.7)*13.05 10179 U answer answer option B
