Mini-Exercise 15-5 (Algo) Variable overhead variances LO 4, 5, 6 Acme Company's production budget for August is 18,500 units and includes the following component unit costs: direct materials, $8.1; direct labor, $11.0; variable overhead, $5.0. Budgeted fixed overhead is $42,000. Actual production in August was 20,250 units. Actual unit component costs incurred during August include direct materials, $9.20; direct labor, $10.40; variable overhead, $5.50. Actual fixed overhead was $44,500. The standard variable overhead rate per unit consists of $5.0 per machine hour and each unit is allowed a standard of 1 hour of machine time. During August, $111,375 of actual variable overhead cost was incurred for 20,625 machine hours. Required: Calculate the variable overhead spending variance and the variable overhead efficiency variance. (Do not round Intermediate calculations. Indicate the effect of each varlance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (l.e., zero varlance).)
