Answer:

Asper Corporation has provided the following data for February. Denominator level of activity 7,700 machine-hours Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead costs $ 266,420 Fixed component of the predetermined overhead rate $ 34.60 per machine-hour Actual level of activity 7,900 machine-hours Standard machine-hours allowed for the actual output 8,200 machine-hours Actual fixed manufacturing overhead costs $ 259,960 The budget variance for February is $6,460 Favorable.

Explanation:

Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead cost = $266,420.

Actual fixed manufacturing overhead costs  = $259,960

The budget variance for February is calculated as below:

Budget Variance = Actual Fixed Manufacturing Overheads - Budgeted Fixed Manufacturing Overheads

Budget Variance =$259,960 - $ 266,420.

Budget Variance = -$6,460

Budget Variance = $6,460 Favorable
