Answer:
$417 A.
It is an adverse variance.
Explanation:
Fixed factory overhead volume variance is the difference between budgeted output at 100% normal capacity and actual production volume multiplied by standard fixed overhead cost per unit.
Formula
Fixed factory overhead volume variance = (budgeted standard hours for 100% normal capacity - Actual standard output hours) × standard fixed overhead cost per unit.
Calculation
Since 5900 units of a product was produced in 3.546 standard hours per unit, total actual standard hour is therefore;
= 5900×3.546
=20,921 hours
Overhead cost per unit = $1.10 per hour
Hours at 100% normal capacity = 21,300 hours.
Recall the formula for fixed factory overhead volume variance is =(budgeted standard hours for 100% normal output- actual standard output hours)× standard fixed overhead per unit.
Therefore;
Fixed factory overhead volume variance =(21,300 hours - 20,921 hours)× $1.10
=379 hours × $1.10
=$417 A
It is therefore an adverse variance.
