The actual factory overhead was $199,700 for November. The actual fixed factory overhead was as budgeted. During November, the Weaving Department had standard hours at actual production volume of
43,000 hours.
Determine the variable factory overhead controllable variance and the fixed factory overhead volume variance. 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.
