Explanation:

Hockey Accessories Corporation manufactured 21,600 duffle bags during March. The following data pertain to March:

                                                      Actual                      Static Budget

Production                                 21,600 units                22,000 units

Machine hours                           1,150 hours                  2,200 hours

Fixed overhead costs                 $ 84,200                    $ 92,400

What is the amount of fixed overhead spending variance?

Hockey Accessories Corporation estimated its fixed overhead costs at $92,400, but the actual overhead costs were only $84,200. The difference between estimated and actual costs is $8,200 favorable variance (= $92,400 - $84,200) since the fixed overhead costs were lower than estimated.
