According to the company's standards, 0.03 direct labor-hours are required to fulfil an order for one item and the variable overhead rate is $2.85 per direct labor-hour: Required: 1.

What is the varlable overhead spending variance? 4. What is the variable overhead rate variance and the variable overhead efficiency variance? (For requirements 3 and 4, Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (6.e, zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate caiculations.) Erie Company manufactures a mobile fitness device called the Jogging Mate.

(For requirements 3 through 5, indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all omounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.)
