Question

A company has budgeted fixed overhead of $1.00 per hour at expected capacity of 5,000 units which have a standard quantity of 2 hours per unit. The company actually produces 5,200 units. The volume variance is

Answer 1

Answer:

$400 favorable

Explanation:

The computation of the volume variance is shown below:

Fixed overhead Volume Variance = Actual Overheads - Budgeted Overheads

where,

Actual overhead is

= 5,200 units × 2 hours × $1

= $10,400      

And, the budgeted overhead is

= 5,000 units × 2 hours × $1

= $10,000      

So, the volume variance is

= $10,400 - $10,000

= $400 favorable

We simply deduct the budgeted cost from the actual cost so that the difference could be come
