    Explanation:

    Variable overhead efficiency variance: Variable overhead efficiency variance aims to determine whether or not their exist savings or extra cost incurred on variable overhead as a result of workers being faster or slower that expected.

    Since the variable overhead is charged using labour hours, any amount by which the actual labour hours differ from the standard allowable hours would result in a variance

    Hours

    5000 units should have taken (5000*0.5 hours) 2,500

    but did take 2,080

    Labour hours variance 420 favorable

    Standard variable overhead rate * $ 4.00 per hour

    Variable overhead efficiency variance $1,680 Favorable
