Blumen Textiles Corporation began January with a budget for 90,000 hours of production in the Weaving Department. The department has a full capacity of 100,000 hours under normal business conditions. The budgeted overhead at the planned volumes at the beginning of April was as follows:

Blumen Textiles Corporation began January with a b

The actual factory overhead was $782,000 for April. The actual fixed factory overhead was as budgeted. During April, the Weaving Department had standard hours at actual production volume of 92,500 hours. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number. Round your interim computations to the nearest cent, if required.

a. Determine the variable factory overhead controllable variance.

b. Determine the fixed factory overhead volume variance.

Giving the following information:

The actual factory overhead was $782,000 for April. The actual fixed factory overhead was as budgeted. During April, the Weaving Department had standard hours at an actual production volume of 92,500 hours.

A) We need the estimated overhead cost. So I will leave the formula.

factory overhead controllable variance = Actual overhead - estimated overhead

B) fixed factory overhead volume variance = budgeted fixed overhead - fixed overhead applied
