Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable and "U" for unfavorable.) 2. Calculate the direct labor rate, efficiency, and total spending variances for Barley Hopp. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable and "U" for unfavorable.) 3. Calculate the variable overhead rate, efficiency, and total spending variances for Barley Hopp. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable/Overapplied and "U" for unfavorable/underapplied.)
