    Manufacturing overhead rate (spending) variance = $24,000 favorable

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Actual direct labor hours = 24,000

    Octagon produced 8,000 units and incurred a variable overhead of $120,000.

    The hours allowed per unit are 2. The standard variable overhead rate is $3.00 per direct labor hour.

    To calculate the variable overhead spending variance, we need to use the following formula:

    Manufacturing overhead rate (spending) variance = (standard rate - actual rate) * actual quantity

    Actual rate = 120,000/24,000 = 5

    Manufacturing overhead rate variance = (6 - 5) * 24,000

    Manufacturing overhead rate variance = $24,000 favorable
