    Fixed overhead volume variance

    = (Standard hours - Budgeted hours) x Standard fixed overhead rate

    = (11,000 - 10,000) x $1.35

    = $1,350 (F)

    The correct answer is A

    Standard fixed overhead rate

    = Budgeted overhead

    Budgeted direct labour hours

    = $13,500

    10,000 hours

    = $1.35 per direct labour hour

    Explanation:

    Fixed overhead volume variance is the difference between standard hours and budgeted hours multiplied by standard fixed overhead application rate. Standard fixed overhead application rate is the ratio of budgeted overhead to budgeted direct labour hours.
