Показать описание
This video shows how to calculate the variable overhead spending variance.

The variance overhead spending variance is the difference between:
(1) actual activity base (e.g., machine hours) * actual variable overhead rate
and
(2) actual activity base (e.g., machine hours) * standard variable overhead rate
This is sometimes abbreviated as: (AH * AR) - (AH * SR)

If the company spent more than it should have (according to the standard, which is set by management), then the variable overhead spending variance is unfavorable.—

Awesome for conceptually understanding, but for a timed exam this can really eat up your time. Really, it's just: AH(SR-AR). If it's positive it's favorable, and if its negative unfavorable. Then, drop the sign.
