Question

An outdoor barbecue grill manufacturer uses a standard costing system in which standard machine-hours (MHs) is the measure of activity. Data from the company's flexible budget for manufacturing overhead are given below: Denominator level of activity: 4,600 MHs Fixed overhead cost: $50,140 The following data pertain to operations for the most recent period: Actual hours: 5,000 MHs Standard hours allowed for the actual output: 4,743 MHs Actual total fixed manufacturing overhead cost: $48,690 The fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance for the period is closest to:

Step 1

First, we need to calculate the standard fixed overhead rate per machine hour. To do this, we will divide the total fixed overhead cost by the denominator level of activity: Standard Fixed Overhead Rate = Total Fixed Overhead Cost / Denominator Level of Show more…
