(1) The sales-volume variance is:
(Actual units – Planned units) * Planned rate
= (1600 – 1800) * $37.50 = $7500 Unfavorable
Option (b) is correct
(2) What is the flexible-budget amount? ( rounded to two decimal)
Budgeted machine hours * Budgeted OH rate
Budgeted machine hours = (9000/22000)*20000 = 8181.81
= 8181.81 hours * $15.75 = $128863.64
Option (b) is correct
(3) What is the fixed overhead spending variance?
Actual Overhead – Budgeted Overhead
Budgeted Overhead = Budgeted machine hours * Budgeted OH rate
= (6000/30000*32000)*$20 = $128000
$123000 - $128000 = $5000 Favorable
Option (b) is correct
(4)What is the fixed overhead production-volume variance?
