Actual Variable Overhead Cost = $9,700

Standard Variable Overhead Rate = $0.25 per direct labor hour

Actual Number of labor hours worked during the period = 38,500 Hours

Total Flexible Variable Overhead Variance = $230 unfavorable

Actual Variable Overhead - Standard number of direct labor hours allowed for the output achieved by Gallop within this period * Standard Variable Overhead Rate = $230

$9,700 – ( standard number of direct labor hours allowed for the output achieved by Gallop within this period * $0.25) = $230

Standard number of direct labor hours allowed for the output achieved by Gallop within this period * $0.25 = $9,470

Standard number of direct labor hours allowed for the output achieved by Gallop within this period = $9,470 / 0.25

= 37,880 Hours

The correct option is b. 37,880 hours
