Question

Factory Overhead Volume Variance Dvorak Company produced 5,100 units of product that required 3.5 standard hours per unit. The standard fixed overhead cost per unit is $2.50 per hour at 18,750 hours, which is 100% of normal capacity. Determine the fixed factory overhead volume variance. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.

Answer 1

$2,250 Favourable

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine the fixed factory overhead volume variance

Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2.50 × [18,750 hrs. – (5,100 units × 3.5 hrs.)]

Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2.50×[18,750 hrs. – 17,850 hrs]

Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2.50×900

Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2,250 Favourable

Therefore the fixed factory overhead volume variance will be $2,250 Favourable
