    B. 6,000U

    Explanation:

    The total variable overhead variance shall be calculated using the following formula:

    Variable overhead variance = (Actual units produced*Standard hours per unit * Standard rate per hour) - (Actual variable production overhead cost of actual production)

    Standard rate per hour=$3

    Standard hours per unit=2

    Actual units produced=24,000

    Actual variable production overhead cost of actual production=$150,000

    Variable overhead variance = (24,000*2*3-150,000)

    = (144,000-150,000)

    =$6,000U

    So the answer is B. 6,000U
