materials, $8.0; direct labor, $10.5; variable overhead, $6.40. Budgeted fixed overhead is $37,000. Actual production in
August was 19,950 units. Actual unit component costs incurred during August include direct materials, $8.70; direct labor,
$9.90; variable overhead, $7.30. Actual fixed overhead was $39,000. The standard fixed overhead application rate per unit
consists of $2 per machine hour and each unit is allowed a standard of 1 hour of machine time.
Required:
Calculate the fixed overhead budget variance and the fixed overhead volume variance.
Note: Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect
(i.e., zero variance).
