Answer:

the variable overhead spending variance is $700 favorable

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the variable overhead spending variance is shown below:

The variable overhead spending variance is

= (standard rate - actual rate) × actual labor hours

= ($9 - $33,500 ÷ 3,800) × 3,800

= $700 favorable

hence, the variable overhead spending variance is $700 favorable

The above formula should be applied for the same
