Answer:
See below
Explanation:
a. Variable overhead spending variance
= AH Ă— ( AR - SR)
Where
AH = Actual Hours worked = 24,000
AR = Actual variable overhead rate = $50,000
SR = Standard variable overhead rate = $48,000
Therefore,
Variable overhead spending variance
= 24,000 Ă— ($50,000 - $48,000)
= $48,000
