Question

Production 54,000 units 60,000 units Machine-hours 985 hours 1,800 hours Fixed overhead costs for September $53,400 $90,000 The fixed-overhead budgeted cost-allocation rate (BR) $50.00 per machine-hour. Standard quantity per 1 unit (SQ) (1,800m/h: 60,000)= 0.03m/h What is the fixed overhead production-volume variance? A. $9,000 F B. $81,000 U C. $81,000F D. $9,000 U

Answer 1

The fixed overhead production-volume variance is $9,000 U

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the fixed overhead production-volume variance.

We start by calculating the fixed overhead applied to production.

mathematically that is equal to : 54,000 * 0.03 * 50 = 81,000

The budgeted fixed overhead = 90,000

Mathematically,

Fixed overhead production-volume variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - fixed overhead applied to production = 90,000 - 81,000 = $9,000 U
