Lorena Simon · Answer 1

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Budgeted production 7,400 units Standard machine-hours per unit 6.6 machine-hours Standard lubricants rate $ 3.50 per machine-hour

Actual production 7,600 units Actual machine-hours (total) 49,840 machine-hours Actual lubricants cost (total) $ 179,821

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

Manufacturing overhead spending variance = (3.5 - 3.607965) * 49,840 = 5,381 unfavorable
