8,450 Favorable; 3,206 Unfavorable

Explanation:

Variable overhead spending variance:

= (Standard rate - Actual rate) * Actual hours

= ($3 * 18,731) - $47,743

= 8,450 Favorable

Variable overhead efficiency variance:

= (Standard hour - Actual hour) * Standard rate

= [ (11,620 * 1.52) - 18,731] * $3

= (-1,068.6) * $3

= 3,206 Unfavorable
