direct labor hours. The actual data for the year ended November 30, 2022 are:

Actual production in units = 198,000
Actual direct labor hours = 440,000
Actual variable overhead = $352,000
Actual fixed overhead = $575,000

a. What were the standard hours allowed for actual production for the year ended November 30, 2022?
b. What was the VOH efficiency variance for the year? 
c. What was the VOH spending variance for the year?
d. What was the FOH spending variance for the year?
e. What was the FOH applied to Mooven's production for the year?
