The answer marked is 11000 but mine is not same I have calculated OAR but it seems O have made a mistakeAugust 3, 2022 at 10:07 am #662354I do not know where you are finding these questions, but there is no such thing as a ‘fixed overhead activity variance’.
Given that they are using marginal costing, the only fixed overhead variance is the expenditure variance (and there is no absorption rate anyway when using marginal costing).
