    a. - $783 Unfavorable

    b. 550 Favorable

    Explanation:

    a. The computation of Variable Overhead Rate Variance is shown below:-

    Variable Overhead Rate Variance = Actual hours * (Standard Variable Overhead rate per hour - Actual Variable Overhead rate per hour)

    = 8,700 * ($4.10 - ($36,540 : 8,700)

    = 8,700 * ($4.10 - $4.19)

    = 8,700 * - $0.09

    = - $783 Unfavorable

    b. The computation of Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance is shown below:-

    Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = Standard Variable Overhead Rate per Hour * (Standard Hours for Actual Production - Actual Hours)

    = 5.5 * ((5.5 * 1,600) - 8,700)

    = 5.5 * (8,800 - 8,700)

    = 5.5 * 100

    = 550 Favorable
