    Monty Manufacturing builds playground equipment that it sells to elementary schools and municipalities. Monty's management has contracted you to perform a variance analysis on the fixed manufacturing overhead for its line of slides. Monty's cost accounting team informs you that it allocates fixed overhead based on machine hours. This period production was budgeted at 35 0 slides

    . Budgeted and actual production data follows:

    Standard fixed overhead cost per machine hour $5.00

    Standard machine hours per slide 9

    Actual production 390

    Actual fixed overhead cost $20,000

    What is the fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance in this period?

    Answer:

    Fixed overhead volume variance $1800 Favorable

    Explanation:

    Standard fixed cost per unit = cost per hour * standard hours

    = $5.00 * 9 = $45

    Units

    Budgeted production unit 350

    Actual production unit 390

    Volume variance in (units) 40

    Standard fixed over cost per unit * $45

    Fixed overhead volume variance 1800 Favorable

    Fixed overhead volume variance $1800 Favorable
