When a client receives 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.

Number of items shipped Standard direct labor-hours per item Total direct labor-hours allowed Standard variable overhead cost per hour Total standard variable overhead cost Actual variable overhead cost incurred Total standard variable overhead cost Total variable overhead variance 2. Break down the difference computed in (1) above into a variable overhead rate variance and a variable overhead efficiency variance. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).) Variable overhead rate variance Variable overhead efficiency variance
