Lamp Light Limited (LLL) manufactures lampshades. It applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor hours. Information from LLL’s standard cost card follows: Standard Quantity Standard Rate Standard Unit Cost Variable manufacturing overhead 0.6 $0.80 $0.48 During August, LLL had the following actual results: Units produced and sold 26,300 Actual variable overhead $ 9,590 Actual direct labor hours 17,000 Required:Compute LLL’s variable overhead rate variance, variable overhead efficiency variance, and over- or underapplied variable overhead. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).) How do I figure out the variable overhead rate variance? I thought it's AH*(SR-AR) 17,000 * (.80- 9,590/17000=.56) 17000 * (.80-.56)= 4,080?? It says not correct?
