    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Variable overhead 0.4 hours $ 7.90 per hour

    The company produced 6,100 units in January using 2,470 direct labor-hours.

    The actual variable overhead rate was $7.70 per hour.

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

    Manufacturing overhead rate variance = (standard rate - actual rate) * actual quantity

    Manufacturing overhead rate variance = (7.9 - 7.7) * 2,470

    Manufacturing overhead rate variance = $494 favorable
