What are the fixed overhead price and production volume variances for Paynesville? (Enter your answers in whole dollars. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, or "U" for unfavorable. If there is no effect, do not select either option.)
sales activity variance = (actual sales volume - budgeted sales volume) x budgeted price
= - 606,000 = (actual sales volume - 116,000) x 195
= -606,000 / 195 = actual sales volume - 116,000
= -3,108 (rounded fig) = actual sales volume - 116,000
actual sales volume = 116,000 -3,108
actual sales volume = 112,892 (rounded fig)
Fixed overhead spending variance = actual fixed overhead - budgeted fixed overhead applied
= 3,640,000 - 4,032,056 = - 392,056 (F)
actual fixed overhead is the total fixed costs given.
budgeted fixed overhead cost = (standard rate x actual outputs) + non-manufacturing costs
= (18 x 112,892) + 2,000,000 = 2,032,056 + 2,000,000 = $ 4,032,056
fixed overhead spending variance is the difference between actual overhead incurred and the budgeted overhead for the actual output. The answer we got is negative, which means that it is a favorable variance. It is favorable since the actual amount spent is less than the amount that was thought to have incurred.
Fixed production volume variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Standard fixed overhead applied
= 2,032,056 - 2,088,000 = - 55,944 (F)
budgeted fixed overhead = actual units x standard rate = 112,982 x 18 = 2,032,056
standard fixed overhead = standard units x standard rate = 116,000 x 18 = 2,088,000
