    variable overhead spending variance = $2,250

    Explanation:

    given data

    Actual variable overhead cost per hour = $8.00

    Standard variable overhead cost per hour = $7.50

    Actual hours = 4,500

    Standard hours = 5,000

    to find out

    variable overhead spending variance

    solution

    we know Actual hours and Application rate

    so Total actual will be here = Actual hours * Application rate ... 1

    Total actual = 4,500 * $8

    Total actual = $36000

    and

    Total actual Standard will be = Standard variable * Actual hours ... 2

    Total actual for Standard will be = 4,500 * $7.50

    Total actual for Standard = $33750

    so

    variable overhead spending variance = Total actual - Total actual for Standard ... 3

    variable overhead spending variance = $36000 - $33750

    variable overhead spending variance = $2,250
