"<em>Nexus industries uses a standard costing system to apply manufacturing costs to its production process. In May nexus anticipated 2700 units with fixed manufacturing overhead costs allocated at $8.40 per direct labor hour with a standard of 2.5 direct labor hours per unit. In May, actual production was 3400 units and actual fixed manufacturing overhead cost were $23000. What was nexus fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance in May</em>?"
Solution:
Budgeted fixed overhead costs = Units * Direct labor cost * Standard Direct Labor hours per unit
= 2,700 units * $8.40 * 2.5
= 2,700 units * 21
= $56,700
Fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance = Actual fixed overhead cost - Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead costs
When Actual fixed overhead = $23,000
, Budgeted fixed overhead costs = $56,700
Fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance = $23,000 - $56,700
= $33,700 (Favorable)

The calculated value of the Z statistic to test the potential buyer's belief at the 1% significant level is -2.57512627.
The calculated Z score is slightly greater than the critical value of -2.575, the potential buyer's view that weekly store revenues are less than $7,000 stands vindicated.
Since store revenues are assumed to be normally distributed and population standard deviation is given, we can use the Z-test. The relevant test statistic is the Z-score.
We use the following formula for calculating the Z score:
Z = (X - μ) / (σ /√n)
Substituting the relevant values we get,
Z = (6400 -7000) / (1042/√20)
Z = -600 / 232.9982833
Z = -2.57512627
