Answer:

$2,410 Favorable

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of variable overhead rate variance is shown below:-

Actual hours (Actual rate - Standard rate) = Actual Hour × Actual rate - Actual Hour × Standard rate

= $58,650 - (8,600 × $7.10)

= $58,650 - $61,060

= $2,410 Favorable

Therefore, for computing the variable overhead rate variance we simply applied the above formula.
