The fixed overhead allocated for actual output unit is subtracted from budgeted fixed overhead to calculate _______________?
Correct answer: B. production volume variance
- A. budget variance
- B. production volume variance
- C. price volume variance
- D. cost volume variance
Explanation
Production volume variance compares budgeted fixed overhead with fixed overhead applied to the actual output level. Thus, budgeted fixed overhead minus fixed overhead allocated for actual output gives the production volume variance.
