    Could you please help me with this question?

    Budget production 13120 units
    Budget fixed OH $45,920
    Budget hours 26,240 hours

    Actual production 12920 units
    Actual fixed OH $48,400
    Actual hours 25,200 hours

    Calculate fixed OH Efficiency Variance

    I know the pro forma for this variance yet I am not arriving at the answer shown on the F5 mock exam…Perhaps I am calculating the rates wrong. I calculated standard rate as 45920/26240=$1.75. Is this correct? It would be interesting to see how you arrive at the answer. Thanks in advance.

    Actual hours worked = 25,300.
    Standard hours for actual production = 12920 units x 26240/13120 = 25840

    So efficiency variance = (25,840 – 25,200) x $1.75 = $1,120 (Fav)
