The fixed factory overhead volume variance is:__________
a. $65 favorable
b. $540 unfavorable
c. $540 favorable
d. $65 unfavorable

Respuesta :

Answer:

Fixed overhead volume variance   $540   unfavorable

Explanation:

The fixed overhead volume variance is the difference between the budgeted and actual production volume multiplied by the standard fixed production overhead rate per unit.

Overhead absorption rate = Budgeted Fixed overhead/Budgeted units

                                            = 27,000/1000 =$27 per unit

                                                               Unit

Budgeted production                         1000

Actual production                               980

Volume variance                                  20

Standard fixed overhead cost           $27

Fixed overhead volume variance       $540   unfavorable
