Question

Fixed Overhead Spending and Volume Variances, Columnar and Formula Approaches

Answer 1

Answer:

Fixed Overheads Spending Variance = $5,000 Unfavorable(U).

Fixed Overheads Spending Variance = $20,000  Favorable (F).

Explanation:

Fixed Overheads Spending Variance = Actual Fixed Overheads  - Budgeted Fixed Overheads

                                                              = $305,000 -  $300,000

                                                              = $5,000 Unfavorable(U).

Fixed Overheads Spending Variance = Fixed Overheads at Actual Production  - Budgeted Fixed Overheads

                                                              = ($5.00 × 64,000) - $300,000

                                                              = $320,000 - $300,000

                                                              = $20,000  Favorable (F)
