Hello. Can you explain this question, please?
A company operates a standard marginal costing system. Last month actual fixed overhead expenditure was 2% below budget and the fixed overhead expenditure variance was $1,250.
What was the actual fixed overhead expenditure for last month?
A $61,250
B $62,475
C $62,500
D $63,750March 6, 2014 at 5:28 pm #161650If the expenditure variance is 1250 and this is 2% of budget, then the budget figure must be 1250 / 2% = $ 62,500
The actual figure is 2% below budget, and so the actual figure must be 62,500 – 1,250 = $61,250
March 6, 2014 at 6:01 pm #161664If it was below budget , that means there was a favourable variance , wasn’t it?
March 6, 2014 at 6:12 pm #161666Yes – it is a favourable variance 🙂
March 7, 2014 at 9:06 pm #161749Oh , then okay.
