Answer:
Increased prices typically result in lower demand, and demand increases generally lead to increased supply. However, the supply of different products responds to demand differently, with some products' demand being less sensitive to prices than others.
Answer:
total budgeted costs = $189,400
budgeted production = 1,000 units
standard rate = $189,400 / 1,000 = $189.40 per unit
total actual costs = $197,200
actual production = 1,120 units
actual rate = $197,200 / 1,120 = $176.07 per unit
- total fixed overhead variance = actual overhead costs - budgeted overhead costs = $197,200 - $189,400 = $7,800 unfavorable. The actual overhead expense was higher than the budgeted.
- controllable variance = (actual rate - standard rate) x actual units = ($176.07 - $189.40) x 1,120 units = -$14,929.60 favorable. The actual overhead rate was lower than the standard rate, that is why the variance is positive.
- volume variance = (standard activity - actual activity) x standard rate = (1,000 - 1,120) x $189.40 = -1,120 x $189.40 = -$212,128 favorable. More units where produced than budgeted, that is why the variance is positive.
