5,900munits should have taken (5,900× 0.9)          5,310

but did take                                                                 2050          

efficiency variance in hours                                         3,260 favorable

Standard rate per hour                                                 $4.00  

Variable overheads efficiency variance                     13,040 favorable

Variable overheads efficiency variance = $13,040  favorable
