Answer:

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance=  $48,000 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Actual direct labor= 24,000 direct labor hours

Actual variable overhead of $120,000.

The standard variable overhead rate is $3.00 per direct labor hour.

To calculate the variable overhead spending variance, we need to use the following formula:

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity

Actual rate= 120,000/24,000= $5

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (3 - 5)*24,000

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance=  $48,000 unfavorable
