Answer:

D) $3,937.50 favorable

Explanation:

We need to use the formula to work out the variance:

[tex]$Actual hours worked * (standard overhead rate - Actual overhead rate)\\=Variable overhead spending variance[/tex]

We post the know values in your table and calculate the variance.

[tex]7,875 * (31.5 - 31) = 3.937,5[/tex]

It is favorable because the actual price was lower than standart, the company saved cash, it was a favorable spending.

Remember:

If Standard - Actual = positive  --> favorable variance

If Standard - Actual = negative --> unfavorable variance
