Answer:

$17,688 unfavorable

Explanation:

The computation of the variable efficiency variance is shown below:

Variable efficiency variance = (Actual hours - standard hours) × standard rate

= (2,700 hours - 200 units × 6.8 hours) × $13.20

= (2,700 hours - 1,360 hours) × $13.20

= 1,340 hours × $13.20

= $17,688 unfavorable

Since the actual hours is more than the standard hours so it would leads to unfavorable variance
