6. A manufacturer planned to use $78 of variable overhead per unit produced, but in the most recent period, it actually used $76 of variable overhead per unit produced. During this same period, the company planned to produce 500 units but actually produced 540 units. NOTE: All dollar amounts are rounded to whole dollars and shown with "$" and commas as needed (i.e. $12,345). For the variance conditions, your answer is either "F” (for Favorable) or "U” (for Unfavorable) - capital letter and no quotes. What is the variable overhead spending variance? Is it favorable or unfavorable?
