The Parco Company applies manufacturing overhead costs to products on the basis of direct labor-hours. The standard cost card shows that 12 direct labor-hours are required per unit of product. For August, the company budgeted to work 360,000 direct labor-hours and to incur the following total manufacturing overhead costs:

 

Total variable overhead costs $396,000
Total fixed overhead costs $475,200
   

During August, the company completed 28,000 units of product, worked 344,000 direct labor-hours, and incurred the following total manufacturing overhead costs:

 

Total variable overhead costs $395,600
Total fixed overhead costs $461,200
   

The denominator activity in the predetermined overhead rate is 360,000 direct labor-hours. What is the fixed overhead budget variance for August?

0

Actual fixed overhead – Budgeted fixed overhead = Budget variance

$461,200 – $475,200 = $14,000 F (see discussion below)

 

Since actual fixed overhead was less than the amount budgeted for the period, the budget variance is favorable.
