To determine

Fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate of the year.

Introduction: Fixed overhead volume variances mean a measure that defines the difference between budgeted fixed overhead costs and actual cost of fixed overhead costs. This explains the units produced based on the standard hours allowed and standard fixed rate.

Answer to Problem 10A.1E

  Fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate=Fixed overhead Budgeted standard direct labor hourFixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate= 250,00025,000=10

Explanation of Solution

  Budgeted variances = Actual fixed overhead -Budgeted fixed overheadBudgeted variances = 254,000-250,000Budgeted variances = 4,000U

To determine

Fixed overhead budget variance and volume variance.

Introduction: Fixed overhead volume variances mean a measure that defines the difference between budgeted fixed overhead costs and actual cost of fixed overhead costs. This explains the units produced based on the standard hours allowed and standard fixed rate.

Answer to Problem 10A.1E

  Fixed overhead volume varinace = [Budgeted fixed overhead for actual outputs - Standard fixed overhead allocated to production] 

  Fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate=Fixed overhead Budgeted standard direct labor hourFixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate= 250,00025,000=10

Budgeted variances is $4,000U and volume variances is $10,000F

Explanation of Solution

  Volume varinace = [( Fixed portion of predetermined overhead rate) ×(Budgeted standard direct labor hour -standard hours allowed)]Volume varinace = 10× (25,000-26,000)Volume varinace = 10,000F
