    c $4,450 U

    Explanation:

    The computation of the Variable overhead spending variance is shown below:

    = (Standard variable overhead Rate * Actual Hour) - (Actual Rate * Actual Hour)

    = ($12 * 400 units * 5.6 hours) - ($31,330)

    = $26,880 - $31,330

    = $4,450 Unfavorable

    The (Actual Rate * Actual Hour) is also called as Actual variable overhead.

    All other information which is given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it
