Workings

To calculate budgeted variable factory overhead cost

Indirect factory labour =46,000 / 20,000 hrs × 22,000 hrs

= $50,600

Power and light= 12,000/ 20,000 hrs × 22,000 hrs

=$13,200

Indirect materials = 20,000 / 20,000 × 22,000 hrs

= $22,000

To calculate fixed factory overhead rate

= $130,000/ 25,000hrs

= $5.20 per hour

To calculate favourable variance

50,600 - 49,700= ($900)

13,200 - 13,000 =($200)

To calculate Total controllable variance

(900 + 200) = ($1,100)

To calculate Net controllable variance unfavourable

2000 - 1,100 = 900

To calculate volume variance unfavourable

(25,000hrs - 22,000hrs ) × $5.20

= $15,600

To calculate Total Factory Overhead cost variance unfavourable

900 + 15,600

= $16,500
