![Factory Overhead Cost Variances
Blumen Textiles Corporation began April with a budget for 22,000 hours of production in the Weaving Department. The department has a full capacity of 29,000 hours
under normal business conditions. The budgeted overhead at the planned volumes at the beginning of April was as follows:
Variable overhead
$59,400
Fixed overhead
40,600
Total
$100,000
The actual factory overhead was $101,200 for April. The actual fixed factory overhead was as budgeted. During April, the Weaving Department had standard hours at
actual production volume of 23,000 hours. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.
