Actual Static Budget
Production 21,600 units 22,000 units
Machine hours 1,150 hours 2,200 hours
Fixed overhead costs $ 84,200 $ 92,400
What is the amount of fixed overhead spending variance?
Hockey Accessories Corporation estimated its fixed overhead costs at $92,400, but the actual overhead costs were only $84,200. The difference between estimated and actual costs is $8,200 favorable variance (= $92,400 - $84,200) since the fixed overhead costs were lower than estimated.
