Variable Overhead Spending Variance. Variable Overhead spending variance (also called variable overhead rate variance) is the product of actual units of the allocation base of variable overhead and the difference between standard variable overhead rate and actual variable overhead rate. The formula to calculate the variable overhead spending variance is:
There is never an efficiency variance for fixed overhead because managers cannot be more or less efficient with fixed amount regardless of the output level. This results in the flexible budget variance amount being the same for the spending variance for fixed manufacturing overhead.
