Exercise 9-6 (Algo) Variable Overhead Variances [LO9-6] Logistics Solutions provides order fuiffilment services for dot.com merchants. The company maintains warehouses that stock items carried by its dot.com clients. When a client recelves an order from a customer, the order is forwarded to Logistics Solutions, which pulls the item from storage, packs it, and ships it to the customer.

The company incurred a total of $9,450 in variable overhead costs. According to the company's standards, 0.03 direct labor-hours are required to fulfill an order for one itern and the variable overhead rate is $2.75 per direct labor-hour. Required: 1. What is the standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to ship 110,000 items to customers? 2. What is the standard variable overhead cost allowed (SH SR) to ship 110,000 items to customers? 3. What is the variable overhead spending variance? 4. What is the variable overhead rate variance and the variable overhead efficiency variance? (For requirements 3 and 4 , indicate the effect of each variance by selecting " F " for favorable, " U " for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e,, zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.)
