Reasons fora favourable variable overhead efficiency variance are
• Workers more skilful in using machines than budgeted.
• Production scheduler was able to schedule jobs better than budgeted, resulting in lower than budgeted machine-hours.
• Machines operated with fewer slowdowns than budgeted.

Machine-time standards set with padding builtin by machine workers.

A direct materials efficiency variance indicates whether more or less direct materials were used than budgeted for the actual output achieved. A variable manufacturing overhead efficiency variance indicates whether more or less of the chosen allocation base was used than was budgeted for the actual output achieved.
16.8
The relationship for fixed manufacturing overhead variances is

There is never a variance for fixed overhead because managers cannot be more or less efficient in dealing with an amount that is fixed regardless of the output level. The result is that the flexible-budget variance amount is the same as the spending variance for fixed manufacturing overhead.
