Explanation / Answer

Fixed Overhead Spending Variance

($16,000)

= Actual Fixed Overhead - Budgeted Fixed Over Head

= $ 444,000 - $ 460,000

Fied Overhead Volume Varaince

= (Actual Output * Budgeted Fixed Overhead Absorption Rate) - (Budheted Output * Budgeted Fixed Overhead Absorption Rate)

= ( 1,020,000 * $ 0.50) - (920,000 * 0.50)

= $ 510,000 - $ 460,000

Calculation

Fixed Overhead Spending Variance

($16,000)

= Actual Fixed Overhead - Budgeted Fixed Over Head

= $ 444,000 - $ 460,000

Fied Overhead Volume Varaince

$ 50,000

= (Actual Output * Budgeted Fixed Overhead Absorption Rate) - (Budheted Output * Budgeted Fixed Overhead Absorption Rate)

= ( 1,020,000 * $ 0.50) - (920,000 * 0.50)

= $ 510,000 - $ 460,000

Over or (Under) Applied of Fixed Overhead $ 34,000 = $ 50,000 - 16,000
