Explanation / Answer

1.

Fixed MOH Spending variance = Budgeted Fixed MOH - Actual Fixed MOH = $184000 - $280000 = $96000 Unfavorable

Fixed MOH Volume variance = Budgeted Fixed MOH - Allocated Fixed MOH = $184000 - $162400 = $21600 Unfavorable

Total Fixed MOH variance = $117600 Unfavorable

2. Fixed overhead is underallocated by $21600.

3. The spending variance is unfavorable as the actual fixed overheads incurred are much higher than those budgeted at the same level of activity while the volume variance is unfavorable as the actual hours are lower than the standard hours allowed for the same level of activity.
