Acme Company's production budget for August is 19,500 units and includes the following component unit costs: direct materials, $8.0; direct labor. $12.0; variable overhead. $6.0. Budgeted fixed overhead is $52,000. Actual production in August was 21,450 units Actual unit component costs incurred during August include direct materials $10.20; direct labor, $11.40; variable overhead, $7.20. Actual fixed overhead was $55,500. The standard variable overhead rate per unit consists of $6.0 per machine hour and each unit is allowed a standard of 1 hour of machine time. During August, $154.440 of actual variable overhead cost was incurred for 23,760 machine hours Required: Calculate the variable overhead spending variance and the vanable overhead efficiency variance. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)
