Answer:

$1,589 favorable

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what the controllable variance for the month was:

Using this formula

Overhead Controllable Variance =(Budgeted overhead per unit x standard number of units) - Actual overhead expense

Let plug in the formula

Controllable variance=(6,040*$2.10)-$11,095

Controllable variance=$12,684-$11,095

Controllable variance=$1,589 favorable

Therefore the controllable variance for the month was:$1,589 favorable
