    The total overhead variance is $2,600 unfavorable

    Explanation:

    The computation of the total overhead variance is shown below:

    = Fixed overhead cost + variable overhead cost - (produced gallon * direct labor hour * predetermined overhead rate)

    = $8,000 + $4,600 - (1,000 * 2 * $5)

    = $12,600 - $10,000

    = $2,600 unfavorable

    Since, standard cost is less than the actual overhead cost, so it has unfavorable variance.
