Question

Douglas Industries produced 5,500 units of product that required 2.5 standard hours per unit. The standard fixed overhead cost per unit is $2.20 per hour at 13,500 hours, which is 100% of normal capacity. Determine the fixed factory overhead volume variance.

Answer 1

$550 favorable

Step-by-step explanation:

Douglas industries was involved in the manufacturing of 5,500 units of a product which required 2.5 standard hours per unit.

The standard fixed overhead cost per unit is $2.20 for each hour at 13,500 hours

Therefore, the fixed factory overhead volume variance can be calculated as follows

= (13,500-(5,500×2.5hours)×$2.20

= (13,500-13,750)×$2.20

= -250 × $2.20

= -$550

= $550 favorable

Hence the fixed factory overhead volume variance is $550 favorable
