Expert Solution

ACTUAL OVERHEAD FIXED   BUDGETED FIXED OVER HEAD FIXED OVERHEAD COST APPLIED
(AFOH) (BFOH) (SH*SR)
             3,05,000.00              3,00,000.00               3,20,000.00
(64000 Hours*5)
Fixed Over Head spending Variance = AFOH-BFOH
= 305000-300000
=                     5,000.00 UNFAVORABLE
Fixed Overhead production Volume
Variance = BFOH-(SH*SR)
= 300000-320000
=                 -20,000.00 FAVORABLE
Total Fixed Overhead Variance = AFOH-(SH*SR)
= 305000-320000
=                 -15,000.00 FAVORABLE
