See Clear Company manufactures clear plastic CD cases. It applies variable overhead based on the number of machine hours used. Information regarding See Clear's overhead for the month of December follows: Variable manufacturing overhead During December, See Clear had the following actual results: Number of units produced and sold Actual variable overhead cost Actual machine hours Standard Quantity 0.2 machine hours per case 315,000 $ 45,000 60,000 Variable Overhead Rate Variance Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance Variable Overhead Spending Variance Standard Rate $0.70 per machine hour Standard Unit Cost $0.14 Required: Compute See Clear's variable overhead rate variance, variable overhead efficiency variance, and over- or underapplied variable overhead. Note: 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).

Variance Analysis
In layman's terms, variance analysis is an analysis of a difference between planned and actual behavior. Variance analysis is mainly used by the companies to maintain a control over a business. After analyzing differences, companies find the reasons for the variance so that the necessary steps should be taken to correct that variance.
