Hello Sir

find the fixed overhead volume variance

B $480 Fav
C $480 Adv
D $1080 adv

The poster had solved in correctly which is why I didn’t need to show the workings.
They produced 300 units less than budgeted. Therefore the volume variance is 300 x 1.5 hours x $2.40 = $1,080 adverse
Have you watched the free lectures on this?
