Thats the question Sales volume variance changes and total fixed overhead variance also changes can u explain me how total fixed overhead variance changes????

How do u calculate accounting rate of return???

If they use absorption costing there is a fixed overhead expenditure and a fixed overhead volume variance. With marginal costing there is only the fixed overhead expenditure variance. (The lectures on variance analysis explain the reasons in detail).

The accounting rate of return is the average profit per annum expressed as a percentage of the average investment.
