Question

Hazel owns a fruit smoothie shop at the local mall. The budgeted monthly fixed overhead costs consist of the store lease payment ($1,800), advertising ($300) equipment depreciation ($145) and store Wi-Fi ($120). Actual fixed overhead expenses for June were $2,540. When calculating the fixed overhead rate, Hazel anticipated selling 5,150 smoothies during each summer month. She actually sold 5,400 in June. 1. 2. What is the fixed overhead budget variance for the month of June? Is the variance favorable or unfavorable? Will Hazel's fixed overhead volume variance for the month of June be favorable or unfavorable? Explain 1. What is the fixed overhead budget variance for the month of June? Is the variance favorable or unfavorable? Determine the formula for the fixed overhead budget variance, then compute the variance. (Enter the variance as a positive number.

Explanation / Answer

1)

Actual Fixed Overhead = $2540

Budgeted Fixed Overhead = $1800+$300+$145+$120 = $2365

Fixed Overhead Budget Variance :-

= Actual Fixed Overhead - Budgeted Fixed Overhead

= $2540 - $2365

= $175 U

2) Since Hazel's Actual store volume was higher than anticipated, the fixed overhead volume variance will be

favorable. By producing at a higher volume, Hazel was able to use the store's fixed overhead costs more

efficiently.
