To calculate the actual variable overhead cost, we need to multiply the actual machine-hours used with the variable overhead cost per machine-hour.

Actual machine-hours used = 10,290 
Variable overhead cost per machine-hour = $5

Actual variable overhead cost = 10,290 x $5 = $51,450

Therefore, the correct answer is C.
