Hello Teacher,
Please explain, how to calculate Actual Production Units. (This question from F2-Management Accounting (Extra MTQs)
Thank you and have a nice day.
April 13, 2014 at 9:33 am #165176From the fixed overhead volume variance.
The volume variance is (actual production – budget production) x std fix o/h per unit.
You know the variance is 2,000, and you know that the fix o/h per unit is $20
