The spending variance for equipment depreciation in the flexible budget performance report for the month should be:

A) $1,890 U
B) $90 F
C) $90 U
D) $1,890 F

To find the spending variance for equipment depreciation, we need to compare the actual amount spent on equipment depreciation with the flexible budget amount for equipment depreciation.

Flexible Budget Amount for Equipment Depreciation = Budgeted Machine Hours x Budgeted Depreciation Rate per Machine Hour = 8,400 x $0.30 = $2,520

Actual Amount Spent on Equipment Depreciation = Actual Machine Hours x Actual Depreciation Rate per Machine Hour = 9,000 x $0.27 = $2,430

Spending Variance = Flexible Budget Amount - Actual Amount Spent = $2,520 - $2,430 = $90 U

Therefore, the spending variance for equipment depreciation in the flexible budget performance report for the month is $90 U, so the best choice is C.
