Variable overhead spending refers to the costs incurred by a company that vary with production levels, such as utilities, indirect materials, and supplies. Unlike fixed overhead costs, which remain constant regardless of output, variable overhead costs fluctuate based on the volume of goods produced. Effective management of variable overhead spending is crucial for maintaining profitability and operational efficiency, as it directly impacts overall production costs. Companies often analyze these costs to identify areas for potential savings and to improve budgeting accuracy.
volume variance relates to Fixed cost absorption, where as controllable variances arise due difference in actual variable spending per activity measure.

The two types of overhead are fixed overhead and variable overhead. Fixed overhead remains constant regardless of production levels, while variable overhead fluctuates in direct proportion to production activity.
The difference between fixed overhead and variable overhead is that fixed overheads are the ones that do not change regardless and variable overheads are the ones that vary depending on the number of units that it produces. An example of fixed overhead is a managers salary.
Variable manufacturing overhead cost per direct labor hour means the variable overhead cost spent for one single labor hour and formula is as follows:Variable overhead cost per labor hour = total variable overhead cost / Total direct labor hours
