Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

At the normal capacity of 16,000 units, budgeted manufacturing overhead is $64,000 variable and $180,000 fixed. If Chambers had actual overhead costs of $250,000 for 18,000 units produced.

Variable overhead rate= 64,000/16,000= $4

Overhead variance= real - allocated

Overhead variance= 250,000 - (4*18,000 + 180,000)= 250,000 - 252,000= 2,000 favorable
