Answer 1

Particulars	Working
Standard Hours allowed for the years production	=11800*0.7	8260 hrs
Absorbed Fixed Overhead	=8260*5	41300$
Budgeted Fixed Overhead Voume Variance	=Absorbed Fixed Overhead- Budgeted Fixed Overhead
	=8260*5-(X*5)	3300 (F)
	x=	7600 hrs
Budgeted Fixed Overhead	=7600 hrs*5	38000 $
Fixed Overhead Expenditure Variance	Budgeted Fixed Overhead - Actual Fixed Overhead
	= 38000 - 40000	2000 (U)
Fixed Overhead Total Variance	Absorbed Fixed Overhead - Actual Fixed Overhead
	= 41300 - 40000	1300 (F)
Denominator activity level	= 7600/0.7	10857 units
