Compute the fixed overhead volume variance

DBZ Company produces two products, Gamma and DBZ. Gamma is a high-volume item totaling 25,000 units annually. DBZ is a low-volume item totaling only 8,000 units per year. Gamma requires 1.5 hours of direct labor for completion, while each unit of DBZ requires 3 hours. Therefore, total annual direct labor hours are 55,500 (25,000 × 1.5 + 8,000 × 3). Expected annual manufacturing overhead costs are $720,000. DBZ uses a traditional costing system and assigns overhead based on direct labor hours. Each unit of DBZ would be assigned an overhead of _____. A) $30.00 B) $20.00 C) $32.43 D) $38.91
