  • B. unfavorable variance
  • C. production volume variance
  • D. favorable variance

Basic fixed overhead variance analysis uses spending and production-volume variances, not a separate efficiency variance. Efficiency effects may be incorporated into a more detailed breakdown of the volume variance, but efficiency variance is not normally listed as a basic fixed overhead variance.
