    Efficiency variance in $779 unfavorable

    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

    $

    8,000 units should have taken (8,000 * 0.50) 4,000

    but did take 4,190

    Efficiency variance in (hours) 1,90 unfavorable

    Standard rate per hour * $4.10

    Efficiency variance in ($) $779 unfavorable

    Efficiency variance in $779 unfavorable

    variable overhead efficiency variance = $779 unfavorable

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Variable overhead 0.50 hours $ 4.10 per hour

    The company produced 8,000 units using 4,190 direct labor-hours. The actual variable overhead cost was $15,922.

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

    variable overhead efficiency variance = (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) * Standard rate

    Standard quantity = 0.5*8,000 = 4,000

    variable overhead efficiency variance = (4,000 - 4,190) * 4.1

    variable overhead efficiency variance = $779 unfavorable
