    Option (A) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Actual output = 4,200 units

    Actual direct labor-hours = 780 hours

    Actual variable overhead rate = $6.20 per hour

    Variable overhead efficiency variance

    = (SLH - ALH) * SR

    where,

    SLH = Standard labor hour

    ALH = Actual direct labor hours

    SR = Standard Rate per Unit of Output

    = [ (4,200 * 0.20) - 780] * 6.10

    = (840 - 780) * 6.10

    = 366 Favorable
