Use this information for St. Augustine Corporation to answer the question that follow.

St. Augustine Corporation originally budgeted for $360,000 of fixed overhead at 100% of normal production capacity. Production was budgeted to be 12,000 units. The standard hours for production were 5 hours per unit. The variable overhead rate was $3 per hour. Actual fixed overhead was $360,000 and actual variable overhead was $170,000. Actual production was 11,700 units.

The fixed factory overhead volume variance is

a.$5,500 favorable

b.$9,000 unfavorable

c.$5,500 unfavorable

d.$9,000 favorable

Material Price Variance:
(Standard Price-Actual Price)* Actual Quantity Used
(2-2.10)(95004.75)
-4,512.50	Unfavourable

Answer is D


Actual Units	11,700.0	Fixed OH Budgeted	360,000.00
Predetermined OH Rate	30.0	Units	12,000.00
OH Applied to Actual Work	351,000.0	Predetermined OH Rate	30.00


Fixed Overhead Volume Variance:
(Budgeted Overhead-Applied Overhead)
(360000-351000)
9,000.0	Unfavourable

Answer is B
