4. Suppose the static budget volume is 14,500 players-this is the denominator volume. Compute the volume variance for fixed
overhead cost. (Round intermediate calculations to the nearest whole dollar amount. Indicate the effect of each variance by
selecting "F" for favourable, "U" for unfavourable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)
Volume variance
5. Suppose that the static budget volume is also the normal volume and that the budgeted variable overhead cost in the static budget
is $19,800. Given the standard cost card data in the question, calculate the under- or overapplied fixed overhead for August. (Do not
round intermediate calculations.)

Erie Company manufactures an MP3 player called the Jogging Mate. The company uses standards to control its costs. The labour and
variable overhead standards that have been set for one Jogging Mate MP3 player are as follows:
Direct labour
Variable overhead
Standard Hours
18 minutes
18 minutes
Standard Rate per
Hour
$7.50
$4.00
Standard Cost
$ 2.25
$ 1.20
Budgeted fixed overhead was estimated to be $12,375 per month. Fixed overhead cost is applied using direct labour-hours. During
August, 4,400 hours of direct labour time was recorded in the manufacture of 15,500 units of the Jogging Mate. The direct labour cost
totalled $40,675 for the month. Actual variable overhead and fixed overhead costs were $16,720 and $24,800, respectively.
