Answer:

$435

Explanation:

Spending variance for manufacturing overhead = Manufacturing overheads as per Flexible budget - Actual Manufacturing overheads incurred

Spending variance for manufacturing overhead = [$42,200+$2.00*5,070] -  $51,905

Spending variance for manufacturing overhead = $52,340 - $51,905

Spending variance for manufacturing overhead = $435

So, the spending variance for manufacturing overhead in May is closest to $435.
