    Efficiency variance $645 unfavorable

    Explanation:

    Variable overhead efficiency variance: A variance is the difference between a standard cost and the actual cost. Variable overhead efficiency variance aims to determine whether or not their exist savings or extra cost incurred on variable overhead as a result of workers being faster or slower that expected.

    Since the variable overhead is charged using labour hours, any amount by which the actual labour hours differ from the standard allowable hours would result in a variance

    To calculate this variance, we do as follows:

    Hours

    8,200 units should have taken (8,200 * 0.50 hrs) 4,100

    but did take 4,250

    Variance in hours 150 unfavorable

    Standard rate * $4.30

    Efficiency variance $645 unfavorable
