Compute the budget variance for April. b. Compute the volume variance for April (Input all amounts as positive values.) a. Budget variance b. Volume variance

Explanation / Answer

Ans a Budget Variance $5,600 Unfavorable Actual-Budgeted Fixed overhead 293600-288000 ans b Volume variance 10800 Favorable Bedgeted Fixed Manufacturing overhead rate*(Denominator hour-Standard hoursallowed) 36*(8000-8300) Bedgeted Fixed Manufacturing overhead rate 36 288000/8000 If any doubt please comment.
