Calculate the fixed overhead volume variance for Barley Hopp. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable.) Fixed Overhead Volume Variance

Explanation / Answer

1) Fixed Overhead Spending Variance: = Actual Fixed Overheads - Budgeted Fixed Overheads

                                                               = 270,000 - 250,000      = $20,000 U

2) Fixed overhead Volume variance = Absorbed fixed overheads - Budgeted Fixed Overheads

                                                                   = (110000*2.5) - 250,000 = $25,000 Favourable
