Answer:
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $664 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable overhead 0.2 hours $ 5.10 per hour
The company used 1,660 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The actual variable overhead cost was $7,802.
<u>To calculate the variable overhead rate variance, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity
Actual rate= 7,802/1,660= $4.7
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (5.1 - 4.7)*1,660
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $664 favorable
